Standing knee-deep in cold water, swiftly moving 站在没膝深的冷水，快速移动

Somehow I knew I lost something 不知怎的，我知道我失去了一些东西

   

Waiting waist-deep I saw a book there, in the river 等待齐腰深我看到一本书，在那里，在河

Waiting for me to find it there 等我找到它

I tried to read it, neck deep, treading water 我试着读它，脖子深，踩水

The tide pulled me out to sea 潮水把我拉向大海

   

Then with water in my eyes 然后用清水在我的眼前

The words began to rise from their place 这句话开始从那里爬起来

They were beautiful and dread 他们是美丽与恐惧

I reached for them and fed on each phrase 我伸手给他们喂的每个短语

They were honey on my lips 他们的蜂蜜在我的嘴唇

Then a bitter twist in my side 然后在我的身边一个痛苦的扭曲

I knew they'd lay me in my grave 我知道他们会躺在我在我的坟墓

"Is there no one who could save me? " I cried “有没有谁可以救我？ ”我哭了

Sinking down deep through cold water and heavy silence 下沉深跌过冷水和重型沉默

Shadows stirring in the gloom 影子在黑暗中搅拌

What things lay sleeping down deep in the darkness? 什么东西躺着睡觉深处的黑暗？

Woke then to find me in my tomb 醒来之后才发觉我在我的坟墓

   

Then with water in my eyes 然后用清水在我的眼前

The words began to rise from their place 这句话开始从那里爬起来

They were beautiful and dread 他们是美丽与恐惧

I reached for them and fed on each phrase 我伸手给他们喂的每个短语

They were honey on my lips 他们的蜂蜜在我的嘴唇

Then a bitter twist in my side 然后在我的身边一个痛苦的扭曲

I knew they'd lay me in my grave 我知道他们会躺在我在我的坟墓

"Is there no one who could save me? " I cried “有没有谁可以救我？ ”我哭了

   

And when I lost all hope to look 而当我失去了所有的希望寻找

Someone took that heavy book from my hands 有人把那厚厚的书从我手中

All it's weight they set aside 一切的体重，他们预留

After they had satisfied it's demands 他们满意后，它的需求

I felt white and black reverse 我觉得白色和黑色反

And the lifting of a curse from my heart 和诅咒，从我的心脏解除

Then like one receiving sight 然后像一个接收视线

I beheld a brilliant light in the dark 我在黑暗中看见灿烂的光
