歌词与翻译

[中文]

作曲：Bill Ward/Terrence Butler/Ozzy Osbourne/Tony Iommi

你是否曾思考过你的灵魂——它能否获得救赎？

抑或你认为，死后就只是永远躺在坟墓里？

上帝只是你脑海中的一个念头，还是你生命的一部分？

基督是否只是你在学校课本里读到的一个名字？

当你想到死亡时，是感到窒息，还是能保持冷静？

你是否想看教皇被绞死在绳索上——你觉得他是个蠢货吗？

我已见证了真理，是的，我已看见光芒，并改变了我的行径

当我们在生命的尽头感到孤独与恐惧时，我会做好准备

是否因为你害怕朋友们会怎么说

如果他们知道你信仰至高无上的上帝？

在他们指责之前，他们应该明白

上帝才是爱的唯一途径

你的心智是否如此狭隘，以至于必须

随波逐流，盲目跟从人群？

当死亡临近时，你是否仍会冷嘲热讽

并说他们还不如去膜拜太阳？

我认为没错，正是像你这样的人钉死了基督

我觉得很悲哀，你的偏见竟成了唯一的论调

当你的末日临近，你还会如此笃定地说你不信吗？

你曾有过机会却拒绝了，现在已无法挽回

也许在你宣称上帝已死之前，你会重新思考

睁开你的眼，意识到唯有他是真理

唯有他能将你从这一切罪孽与仇恨中救赎

还是你依然会对所闻的一切嗤之以鼻？是的！我想已经太迟了。

作曲 : Bill Ward/Terrence Butler/Ozzy Osbourne/Tony Iommi

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?

Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave

Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?

Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?

Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?

Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways

And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say

If they knew you believe in God above?

They should realize before they criticize

that God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall

In with the pack wherever they run

Will you still sneer when death is near

And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ

I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced

Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?

You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone

Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate

Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.
