作词/袁苑
作曲/袁苑
Beneath the skin there walks a quieter clock
肌肤之下行走着一座更安静的钟
Counting the hours that the loud world forgot
数着喧嚣世界已然遗忘的时辰
No chains to break no tyrant's iron hand
没有要打破的枷锁没有暴君的铁腕
Just the slow surrender of the flesh to land
只是肉身向大地缓慢的归还
We build our cages out of freedom songs
我们用自由的歌谣筑起牢笼
But the sky still knows where every sparrow belongs
可天空仍知每只麻雀的归处
The only truth that deserts ever speak
沙漠说出的唯一真相
Is that the strong are broken with the weak
是强者与弱者一同破碎
Death my old companion my unfinished rhyme
死亡我旧日的同伴我未竟的韵律
You've been marching beside me through all my time
你在我所有岁月里与我并肩前行
Not a jailer not a wound not a punishment
不是狱卒不是伤口不是惩罚
Just the final chord of the instrument
不过是乐器最终的和弦
Just the silence that the heavens always meant
不过是苍天始终注定的那片寂静
The child who asks Where do the sparrows fly
问麻雀飞向何方的孩子
Already holds the answer in his eye
他的眼中早已握着答案
No passport needed for that borderland
那片边境无需护照
Just an open palm and empty hands
只需摊开的掌心与空空的双手
I've seen the color of a dying sun
我见过垂死太阳的颜色
The same red glow in eyes of everyone
那同样赤红的光在每个人眼中闪烁
We come from dust we dream of standing tall
我们来自尘土梦想巍然站立
But the mountain doesn't notice when we fall
可山岳从不在意我们何时倒下
Death my old companion my unfinished rhyme
死亡我旧日的同伴我未竟的韵律
You've been marching beside me through all my time
你在我所有岁月里与我并肩前行
Not a jailer not a wound not a punishment
不是狱卒不是伤口不是惩罚
Just the final chord of the instrument
不过是乐器最终的和弦
Just the silence that the heavens always meant
不过是苍天始终注定的那片寂静
They try to sell us paradise in gold
他们试图以黄金向我们兜售天堂
But paradise is just a story told
可天堂不过是被人讲述的故事
The only freedom I have ever known
我所知的唯一自由
Is walking toward the dark and not alone
是走向黑暗却非独行

和平我们爱你
So let the candles gutter where they stand
就让烛火在原地摇曳熄灭
Let go the hand
放开那双手
You were there at the first bewildered cry
你在最初那声困惑的啼哭中便已在场
You'll be there when the last note asks its why
你也将在最后的音符质问为何时在场
Not an ending
不是终结
The other side of sky
是天空的另一侧
Silence
寂静
The silence between
那之间的寂静
We are the silence between
我们便是那之间的寂静
