[Lyrics: John Petrucci] [歌词：约翰·彼得鲁奇]

   

Sometimes, for a moment of bliss 有时候，幸福的时刻

And the passion, we're craving 和激情，我们渴望

There's a message we miss 有一个消息，我们错过

Sometimes when the spirits left alone 有些时候，当烈酒独处

We must believe in something 我们必须相信的东西

To find if we've grown 要了解如果我们已经长大

   

Tragic reflex, shattered calm 悲惨的反射，平静的破灭

Static progress, senses gone 静态的进步，检测走了

Numb awareness, final psalm 麻木的意识，最终的诗篇

   

Swept away with the tide 一扫顺应潮流

Through the holes in my hands 通过我的手孔

Crown of thorns 荆棘之冠

At my side drawing lines in the sand 在沙滩上我这边画线

   

Sometimes, if you're perfectly still 有时候，如果你完全静止

You can hear the virgin weeping 你可以听到哭泣的处女

For the savior of your will 对于你的意志的救星

Sometimes, your castles in the air 有时候，你的空中楼阁

And the fantasies you're seeking 和幻想你正在寻找

   

Are the crosses you bear 你承担的十字架

   

Sacred conflict, blessed prize 神圣的冲突，祝福奖

Weeping crosses, stainless eyes 哭泣的十字架，不锈钢的眼睛

Desperate addict, faith disguised 绝望的瘾君子，变相的信心

   

Swept away with the tide 一扫顺应潮流

Through the holes in my hands 通过我的手孔

Crown of thorns 荆棘之冠

At my side drawing lines in the sand 在沙滩上我这边画线

   

We fabricate our demons 我们制作我们的心魔

Invite them into our homes 邀请他们到我们的家园

Have supper with the aliens 吃晚饭与外星人

And fight the war alone 独自打仗

We conjure up our skeletons 我们想起了我们的骨骼

Enlist the den of thieves 争取贼窝

Frightened from our closets 从我们的衣柜吓坏

Then sewn upon our sleeves 然后在我们的袖子缝

   

In the stream of consciousness 在意识流

There is a river crying 有一条河哭

Living comes much easier 谈到生活更容易

   

Once we admit 一旦我们承认

We're dying 我们正在死去

   

Sometimes, in the wreckage of our wake 有时候，在我们之后的残骸

There's a bitterness we harbor 还有我们心怀怨恨

And hate for hatred's sake 和恨仇的缘故

Sometime we dig an early grave 有时，我们挖一个早期的坟墓

And crucify our instincts 而钉死我们的本能

For the hope we couldn't save 对于希望大家也救不了

   

Sometimes a view from sinless eyes 从无罪的眼睛有时会期

Centers our perspective 中心我们的观点

And pacifies our cries 和安抚我们的呼声

Sometimes the anguish we survive 有时候，我们生存的痛苦

And the mysteries we nurture 和奥秘，我们培养

Are the fabrics of our lives 是我们生活的面料

   

Swept away with the tide 一扫顺应潮流

Through the holes in my hands 通过我的手孔

Crown of thorns 荆棘之冠

At my side drawing lines in the sand 在沙滩上我这边画线
