[中文]

因为我知道时间已标记了我的生命

我会顺从你说的每一句话

...

但我会笑着回家，看我现在

然后我的城墙崩塌倒塌

...

我的耳朵听到未出生儿子的呼唤

我知道他们的选择染色了我所做的一切

...

但我会把这一切都告诉守望者的儿子

我从未过过如此美好的恋爱时光

...

因为我会了解我的软弱，知道我的声音

我会相信恩典与选择

我知道也许我的心是假象

但我会天真无伪地出生，嗬

...

像那座孕育我贪婪与骄傲的城市

我把手臂伸向天空

...

我喊着巴别！巴别！看看我现在

然后我的城墙崩塌倒塌

...

你问我们会站在哪风呼啸中

当我们所见一切都融入云中

...

所以从你的山上下来，站在我们曾站过的地方

你知道我们的呼吸微弱，身体虚弱

...

把我的鼻子贴在你心脏周围的玻璃上

我早该知道我一开始就更脆弱

你会建起你的墙，我会扮演我的角色

去拆掉它们，拆掉它们

我会拆掉，拆掉它们

因为我知道我的软弱，知道我的声音

我会相信恩典与选择

我知道也许我的心是假象

但我会毫无伪装地出生

...

[英语]

'Cause I know that time has numbered my days

And I'll go along with everything you say

But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now

Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons

And I know their choices colour all I've done

But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son

I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love

'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice

And I'll believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is farce

But I'll be born without a mask, woo

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride

I stretched my arms into the sky

I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now

Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl

As all we see will slip into the cloud

So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been

You know our breath is weak and our body thin

Press my nose up to the glass around your heart

I should've known I was weaker from the start

You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part

To tear, tear them down

Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down

'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice

And I'll believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is farce

But I'll be born without a mask
