With nightmares and with dreams,

Will no one lay the laurel wreath

When silence drowns the screams.

預言家寫滿字跡的牆

正一寸寸開裂

陽光明媚、閃耀著微光

當每一個人

都被夢魘和理想撕碎

無人會再放下月桂榮冠

當寂靜淹沒喧囂

The seeds of time were sown,

And watered by the deeds of those

Who know and who are known;

Knowledge is a deadly friend

When no one sets the rules.

The fate of all mankind I see

Is in the hands of fools.

同時踩爛了一朵花

我追逐折光的稜鏡船的風

品嘗甜和酸

玩拼圖的雜耍人抬起手

管弦樂奏起。

並緩緩轉起碾輪

在血紅國王的宮廷里

On soft gray mornings widows cry

The wise men share a joke;

I run to grasp divining signs

To satisfy the hoax.

The yellow jester does not play

But gentle pulls the strings

And smiles as the puppets dance

In the court of the crimson king.

輕柔的灰色早晨、寡婦哭泣

聰明人說了個笑話；

我奔跑著要抓住神聖的符號

去滿足那玩笑

黃色弄臣不表演

只是輕輕扯線

在玩偶跳舞時微笑

在血紅國王的宮廷里
