I knew a man who lived in fear 我认识一个人谁住在恐惧中

It was huge, it was angry, 这是巨大的，它很生气，

It was drawing near. 它是花前月下。

Behind his house a secret place 他家一个秘密的地方背后

Was the shadow of the demon 是恶魔的阴影

He could never face. 他永远无法面对。

   

He built a wall of steel and flame 他建立了一个铜墙铁壁和火焰

And men with guns to keep it tame 和男子枪，以保持它驯服

Then standing back he made it plain 然后退后一步，他已清楚

That the nightmare would never ever rise again 这噩梦将永远回升

But the fear and the fire and the guns remain. 但恐惧和火与枪依然存在。

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow 这并不重要，现在它已经结束了，无论如何

He tells the world that it's sleeping 他告诉世界，它的睡眠

But as the night came round 但随着夜幕降临圆

I heard its lonely sound 我听到寂寞的声音

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping 这不是咆哮，有人哭

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping. 这不是咆哮，有人哭泣。

   

And then one day the neighbours came 后来有一天，邻居来了

They were curious to know about the smoke and flame 他们都急于想了解的烟雾和火焰

They stood around outside the wall 他们站在身边的外墙砖

But of course there was nothing to be heard at all 不过，当然没有什么可以听到所有

"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal “我的朋友， ”他说， “我们已经达到了我们的目标

The threat is under firm control 威胁下牢牢控制

As long as peace and order reign 只要和平与秩序的统治

I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain 我会被定罪，如果我可以看到一个理由来解释

Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain." 为什么恐惧和火和枪留“ 。
