歌词与翻译

[中文]

我是隐藏着

万古终极秘密的世界

...

摧毁了那些虚无的空间

是我唯一的罪行

...

我已历经千世轮回

我领悟了被信任的真谛

...

那些思想与意象

还有那从未受孕的胎儿

...

当微小的世界碰撞之时

我被困在自己的胚胎细胞中

...

闪现的回忆

被抛入那无尽的深井

...

那蔑视容貌的名字

那从未见识过人类缘由的孩子

...

那死亡般的黑暗

掩盖了那些从未奔跑之人的命运

...

你必须相信，是的

...

我正在对你说

我知道这对你来说很难

去明了其中的缘由

但我知道当你临终之时

你会更加明了

不要以为你现在的生命

就是唯一的生命

你必须让肉体入睡

才能让灵魂永存

...

我想让你倾听

...

我正试图传达给你

爱赋予了你生命

而现在这关乎你的抉择

内在生命的无形之眼

将引导你的灵魂归位

尽管我注视着，却并不试图触碰

生命的种子已然播下

未来的帷幕正在落下

秘密依然无人知晓

...

请记住，爱即是生命

而恨则是活着的死亡

珍视你生命的价值

去为每一次呼吸而活

回首往事，我曾历经沧桑并有所感悟

但现在，我心中充满好奇

我在此等待，只能去猜想

下一段生命会带来什么，哈哈！

...

[英语]

I am the world that hides

The universal secret of all time

Destruction of the empty spaces

Is my one and only crime

I've lived a thousand times

I found out what it means to be believed

The thoughts and images

The unborn child that never was conceived

When little worlds collide

I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell

And flashing memories

Are cast into the never-ending well

The name that scorns the face

The child that never sees the cause of man

The deathly darkness that

Belies the fate of those who never ran

You gotta believe, yeah

I'm talking to you

Well, I know it's hard for you

To know the reason why

And I know you'll understand

More when it's time to die

Don't believe the life you have

Will be the only one

You have to let your body sleep

To let your soul live on

I want you to listen

I'm trying to get through

Love has given life to you

And now it's your concern

Unseen eye of inner life

Will make your soul return

Still, I look, but not to touch

The seeds of life are sown

Curtain of the future falls

The secret stays unknown

Just remember love is life

And hate is living death

Treat your life for what it's worth

And live for every breath

Looking back I've lived and learned

But, now, I'm wondering

Here, I wait and only guess

What this next life will bring, haha!
