It glistens and it sparkles in the moonlight, 它闪亮，它闪耀在月光下，

And where does that leave you? 并且，这会让你？

You self-styled man of vision. 你自封的人眼光。

You feel stupid, you feel angry, are you losing your mind? 你觉得自己很蠢，你感到愤怒，你失去了你的心？

To destroy the one she loves, does that become your mission? 摧毁一个她爱，这是否成为你的使命是什么？
