Back in the days of shock and awe 早在震慑天

We came to liberate them all 我们来解放他们都

History was the cruel judge of overconfidence 历史是过度自信的残酷法官

Back in the days of shock and awe 早在震慑天

   

Back in the days of "mission accomplished" 早在天“功成身退”

Our chief was landing on the deck 我们的主要是降落在甲板上

The sun was setting on a golden photo op 太阳落山了宝合影

Back in the days of "mission accomplished" 早在天“功成身退”

   

Thousands of bodies in the ground 成千上万的尸体在地下

Brought home in boxes to a trumpet's sound 在盒子带回家一个小号的声音

No one sees them coming home that way 没有人看到他们回家的路

Thousands buried in the ground 数以千计埋在地下

   

Thousands of children scarred for life 数以千计的儿童伤痕累累的生活

Millions of tears for a soldier's wife 数以百万计的泪水，军人的妻子

Both sides are losing now 双方现在正在失去

Heaven takes them in 上天把他们

Thousands of children scarred for life 数以千计的儿童伤痕累累的生活

   

We had a chance to change our mind 我们有机会改变我们的心灵

But somehow wisdom was hard to find 但不知何故，智慧是很难找到

We went with what we knew and now we can't go back 我们去了什么，我们知道，现在我们不能回去

But we had a chance to change our mind. 但是，我们有机会改变我们的想法。
