歌词与翻译

[中文]

启示录者约翰，把他送进电梯

带他升至最高处

带他到群山尽头

让他诉说他的谎言之书

启示录者约翰，他是一个圆滑的操作者

是时候让他变得平凡

拉住他的手

把他放在证人席上

让我们听听他的借口

他声称上帝是他的神圣权利

他从以色列人那里偷走了一个上帝

也从穆斯林那里偷走了一个上帝

只有一个上帝，彻彻底底

七个谎言，乘以七

再乘以七

七个天使，七个号角

让他们在清晨的火车上回家

是谁在喊叫？启示录者约翰

他只给我们带来痛苦

是谁在喊叫？启示录者约翰

他应该低头感到羞耻

渐渐地，渐渐地

渐渐地，渐渐地

七个谎言，乘以七

再乘以七

七个天使，七个号角

让他们在清晨的火车上回家

是谁在喊叫？启示录者约翰

他只给我们带来痛苦

是谁在喊叫？启示录者约翰

他应该低头感到羞耻

渐渐地，渐渐地，启示录者约翰

渐渐地，启示录者约翰

渐渐地，启示录者约翰

[英语]

John the Revelator put him in an elevator

Take him up to the highest high

Take him up to the top where the mountains stop

Let him tell his book of lies

John the Revelator he's a smooth operator

It's time we cut him down to size

Take him by the hand

And put him on the stand

Let us hear his alibis

By claiming God as his holy right

He's stealing a God from the Israelite

Stealing a God from a Muslim, too

There is only one God through and through

Seven lies, multiplied by seven

Multiplied by seven again

Seven angels with seven trumpets

Send them home on the morning train

Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator

All he ever gives us is pain

Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator

He should bow his head in shame

By and by, by and by

By and by, by and by

Seven lies, multiplied by seven

Multiplied by seven again

Seven angels with seven trumpets

Send them home on the morning train

Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator

All he ever gives us is pain

Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator

He should bow his head in shame

By and by, by and by, John the Revelator

By and by, John the Revelator

By and by, John the Revelator
