Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adrift 昨晚，在瞬间我的想法是漂泊

And coasting a terrace, approaching a rift 和惯性的露台，接近裂痕

Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath 通过它，我可以窥视下隐约可见的几个

Of the darkness the light from above could not reach 黑暗从上面的光线无法到达

I spied wings of reason, herself taking flight í窥探原因的翅膀，她采取飞行

And upon yonder precipice saw her alight 并在悬崖那边看到她下车

And glared back at me one last look of dismay 并回瞪我不舍的一上一下

As if she were the last one she thought I'd betray 仿佛她是最后一个，她以为我会背叛

   

So much better I said to myself 好多了，我对自己说：

And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf 和绘图相当接近下架的顶部

I struggled with destiny upon the ledge 我呼吁窗台与命运挣扎

And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge 气喘吁吁地说，当他击败了下滑的边缘

And silence contagious in moments like these 和沉默的传染性在趁此时

Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease 我消耗和加强安抚我的意志

The passion that sparked me one terrible night 这引发了我一个可怕的一夜激情

And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite 和震惊，并说服我的灵魂点燃
