专辑 Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
原歌词
[00:21.829] There is a light at the edge of the sea
[00:27.877] That keeps on beckoning me
[00:33.666] The glow is not hard to miss
[00:39.005] When washed up against the abyss
[00:44.896] In the darkness it waits
[00:49.904] For man to unseal its gate
[00:56.229] Only the eyes are to blame
[01:00.985] For what's read by a candle's flame
[01:06.289] I swear that I'll take the grey skies in stride
[01:12.437] Just please keep the black from my side
[01:18.318] Blood of a shadow's heart
[01:23.998] Can never flow in the dark
[01:29.548] Close your eyes and you'll
[01:32.505] Always stay here
[01:35.061] Nothing to hide from or fear
[02:47.372] So bring me the shield, not the sword
[02:52.565] But bring me nothing I've adored
[02:56.029] Just bring me the means to preserve one body
[03:01.115] And I will ask for nothing more
[03:05.337] Await no fate
[03:13.820] Too late, too late
[03:21.709] So bring me the shield, not the sword
[03:26.817] Bring me a coward's last reward
[03:30.085] Cause if you grant me the power to fight this battle
[03:35.404] I will keep begging you for more
[03:39.009] We have harnessed the idea in our minds
[03:43.091] That the sky beyond the wood must be divine
[03:47.424] But wherever we tread our roots shall be planted
[03:52.477] And the trees will grow in little time
[04:18.727] Stars of the frozen night
[04:23.323] Don't guide my way, don't aid in my plight
[04:28.260] Let me for once adjust my eyes
[04:32.806] And let the days roll by
[05:18.522] Hide while you can
[05:23.371] They will see you
[05:26.482] Those with the wounds in their flesh
[05:30.511] They'll say "Hope is worth the mess"
[05:49.205] Don't make a sound
[05:54.096] They will hear you
[05:57.041] And bring down the fire from above
[06:01.205] That cruel flame, they'll light it
[06:09.169] And they'll call it love
[06:34.421] Maybe you'll find the strength after all
[06:40.736] Maybe we're not destined for the fall
[06:45.164] But all I ever saw
[06:47.800] Deep in the mirror of your eyes
[06:51.470] Was a candle lit just to fight the cold
[06:56.769] And a child born to forget the old
[07:02.027] But I swore to you I wouldn't live that way
[07:07.322] Let the pieces fall where they may
[07:34.017] Light at the edge of the sea
[07:38.504] Has taken control of me
[07:43.312] I grasp for all that I wish
[07:48.212] As it hovers above the abyss
[07:53.141] I know now that I'll never be void
[07:58.017] Of desire until I've destroyed
[08:03.484] Both the compass and the map
[08:07.702] So there will be no way to turn back
[08:12.603] To places where freedom prevails
[08:17.735] Where even darkness can fail
[08:23.037] I've come to see that I don't want that choice
[08:27.813] Take all I have, take my voice
[08:34.663] Sleep at the edge of the earth
[08:40.062] Far from the spring of life's rebirth
[09:23.694] Maybe you'll find the strength after all
[09:29.368] Maybe we're not destined for the fall
[09:33.313] But all I ever saw
[09:35.910] Deep in the mirror of your eyes
[09:39.217] Was a candle lit just to fight the cold
[09:43.996] And a child born to forget the old
[09:48.917] But I swore to you I wouldn't live that way
[09:53.875] Let the pieces fall where they may
[09:59.112] After the years spent in here
[10:04.049] I'm still not in the clear
[10:08.792] The realization draws near
[10:13.731] That all we will ever know is fear
歌词翻译
[00:21.829] 海天交界处有微光
[00:27.877] 不断向我闪烁召唤
[00:33.666] 那光芒难以被忽略
[00:39.005] 当它映照着深渊边缘
[00:44.896] 黑暗中有事物在等待
[00:49.904] 等待人类开启门扉
[00:56.229] 唯有眼睛该受责备
[01:00.985] 因烛火映照出的秘密
[01:06.289] 我发誓会从容面对灰色天际
[01:12.437] 只求黑暗远离我身侧
[01:18.318] 暗影之心的血液
[01:23.998] 永不能在黑暗中流淌
[01:29.548] 闭上双眼你就会
[01:32.505] 永远停留在此
[01:35.061] 无所隐藏 无所畏惧
[02:47.372] 给我盾牌而非利剑
[02:52.565] 但别给我心爱之物
[02:56.029] 只需给我保全身躯之法
[03:01.115] 我便再无他求
[03:05.337] 不再等待命运
[03:13.820] 太迟 太迟
[03:21.709] 给我盾牌而非利剑
[03:26.817] 给我懦夫最后的奖赏
[03:30.085] 若你赐我征战之力
[03:35.404] 我将不断向你索取更多
[03:39.009] 我们心中坚信着
[03:43.091] 森林彼端的天空必是神境
[03:47.424] 但无论行至何处 根须终将深植
[03:52.477] 林木很快会茁壮生长
[04:18.727] 寒夜星辰
[04:23.323] 莫指引我 莫施援手
[04:28.260] 让我初次校准双眼
[04:32.806] 任时光静静流逝
[05:18.522] 趁能躲藏时躲藏
[05:23.371] 他们会看见你
[05:26.482] 那些血肉带伤之人
[05:30.511] 会说"希望值得这混乱"
[05:49.205] 别发出声响
[05:54.096] 他们会听见你
[05:57.041] 降下天火
[06:01.205] 点燃那残酷烈焰
[06:09.169] 还称之为爱
[06:34.421] 或许你终将找到力量
[06:40.736] 或许我们命不该绝
[06:45.164] 但我所见唯有
[06:47.800] 你眼眸深处的镜像
[06:51.470] 是为御寒而燃的烛火
[06:56.769] 与生来遗忘过去的孩子
[07:02.027] 但我曾发誓不如此苟活
[07:07.322] 任碎片散落其所
[07:34.017] 海际之光
[07:38.504] 已将我掌控
[07:43.312] 我抓取所有渴望
[07:48.212] 当它悬浮在深渊之上
[07:53.141] 此刻我知晓 欲望永不消逝
[07:58.017] 除非我亲手摧毁
[08:03.484] 罗盘与地图
[08:07.702] 断绝所有退路
[08:12.603] 回到自由盛行之地
[08:17.735] 连黑暗都可能败北
[08:23.037] 我已明白不愿有此选择
[08:27.813] 拿走我所有 包括声音
[08:34.663] 沉睡在大地尽头
[08:40.062] 远离生命复苏之源
[09:23.694] 或许你终将找到力量
[09:29.368] 或许我们命不该绝
[09:33.313] 但我所见唯有
[09:35.910] 你眼眸深处的镜像
[09:39.217] 是为御寒而燃的烛火
[09:43.996] 与生来遗忘过去的孩子
[09:48.917] 但我曾发誓不如此苟活
[09:53.875] 任碎片散落其所
[09:59.112] 在此蹉跎多年后
[10:04.049] 仍未走出迷雾
[10:08.792] 逐渐明悟的事实是
[10:13.731] 我们永远只会知晓恐惧
