Arcade Fire - Half Light II (No Celebration) [Hi-Res](95.83 MB).flac

Now that San Francisco's gone
既然旧金山已经消逝
I guess I'll just pack it in
那么我应该也差不多该退场了
Wanna wash away my sins
想要在朋友们的见证下
In the presence of my friends
洗去我的罪恶

You and I, we head back east
你我共同回头向东边进发
To find a town where we can live
只为寻找一个可以安身的小镇
Even in the half light
尽管身处一片昏暗
We can see that something's gotta give
我们仍能看清有些代价终将付出

When we watched the markets crash
当目睹市场崩塌时
The promises we made were torn
我们曾立下的承诺也都毁灭了
And my parents sent for me
爸爸妈妈在召我回去
From the west where I was born
回到我出生的西边

Some people say
有人断言
We've already lost
我们已经失去了
But they're afraid to pay the cost
但他们不敢付出相应的代价
For what we've lost
来补偿我们所失去的
Pay the cost for what we've lost
补偿我们失去的

Now that you have left me here
既然你已把我留在此处
I will never raise my voice
我再也不会高声发言了
All the diamonds you have here
你在这里拥有的那些钻石
In this home which has no life
就留在这没有生气的家里

Oh, this city's changed so much
这个城市已发生了巨变
Since I was a little child
从我小时候算起
Pray to God I won't live to see
我祈祷不要再见到
The death of everything that's wild
一切野性事物的死亡

Though we knew this day would come
虽然我们早知道那一天终将来临
Still it took us by surprise
它的到来仍使我们措手不及
In this town where I was born
在这座我出生的小镇里
I now see through a dead man's eyes
此刻我看穿一个死人的双眼

One day they will see it's long gone.
总有一天他们会明白 一切都早已消逝
