Lyrics by:William Stetson/Milo Poniewozik
Composed by:William Stetson/Milo Poniewozik
Palaces of silver and gold
银与金的宫殿
Cannot be designed overnight
无法在一夜之间设计完成
It's like the saying I've often been told
正如我常听到的那句话
"No matter the cost do things right"
“无论代价多大,都要把事情做对”
You have to be careful
你必须小心翼翼
You have to be diligent
你必须勤奋不懈
Planning and measuring every detail
规划并测量每一个细节
Creating is drawing erasing and drawing again
创作是画了又擦,擦了又画
And I've never been in it for fame or attention
我从未为名利或关注而奋斗
I only work hard so the structures won't fail
我只为让建筑屹立不倒而辛勤工作
And seeing it finished is worth every mora I spend
看到它完工的那一刻,每一分付出都值得
Within every building made with pride
在每一座充满自豪的建筑中
The architect lives on inside
建筑师的精神永存其中
Shining paint a marble heart
闪耀的涂料,如大理石般的心
That's what makes a work of art
这正是艺术作品的灵魂
We build and we play
我们建造,我们创造
Sculpting dreams out of clay
用泥土塑造梦想
With the hope that our towers don't fall
希望我们的高塔不会倒塌
That we won't have to see the writing on the wall
希望我们不必看到墙上的警示
The more you work the higher the stakes
越是努力,风险越高
And the bigger the sorrows to drown
需要淹没的悲伤也越大
'Cause one mistake is all that it takes
因为一个错误就足以
For the walls to come crumbling down
让高墙轰然倒塌
You have to ignore them the echoing voices
你必须无视那些回响的声音
That cackle and curse as you toil away
那嘲笑与咒骂在你辛勤工作时响起
Cover your ears and focus on boxes and lines
捂住耳朵 专注于那些方框与线条
And the shadowy figures they're nothing but shadows
那些模糊的身影不过是幻影
Like ink on a page they have nothing to say
就像纸上的墨水 它们无声无息
But maybe just maybe
但也许 只是也许
They're trying to give me a sign
它们正试图给我一个暗示
That in every building made with pride
在每一座充满骄傲的建筑中
The architect remains inside
建筑师的身影永远留存其中
Peeling paint a heavy heart
剥落的油漆 沉重的心
That's what makes a work of art
这正是艺术作品的灵魂
We scream and we pray
我们呐喊 我们祈祷
Sculpting dreams out of clay
用泥土塑造梦想
As we try not to look at scrawl
我们努力不去看那些潦草的字迹
The message of doom the writing on the wall
那墙上的文字 预示着厄运
Everyday we play this game of chance
每天我们都在玩这场机会的游戏
Whirling through a desperate dance
在绝望的舞蹈中旋转
Sketching visions in our heads
在脑海中勾勒愿景
Just to see them ripped to shreds
却眼睁睁看着它们被撕碎
This road that we share
我们共同走过的路
Doesn't lead anywhere
似乎没有尽头
But there's nothing an artist can do
但艺术家别无选择
When you swing your brush you have to follow through
一旦挥动画笔,就必须坚持到底
Within every building made with pride
在每一座充满自豪的建筑中
The architect is trapped inside
都困着一位建筑师
Bleeding paint a shattered heart
用破碎的心描绘色彩
That's what makes a work of art
这正是艺术作品的灵魂
I'll fight for control
我会为掌控而奋斗
But the"right way" takes a toll
但“正确的方式”代价沉重
And still at the end of it all
然而在一切结束时
I can't escape my fate the writing's on the wall
我无法逃脱命运 结局早已注定
