- And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
夜晚又回到了佈滿星星的天空
The stars settle slowly, in lonliness they lie
星星慢慢地落下，孤零零地躺著
Till the universe explodes as a falling star is raised
直到一顆流星升起，宇宙爆炸
Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
行星癱瘓，山脈驚嘆
But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
但它們都因耀眼的光芒而發光
With the speed of insanity, then he dies
隨著精神錯亂的速度，他死了
In the green fields a turnin , a baby is born
綠色田野的一個拐角兒，一個嬰兒誕生了
His cries crease the wind and mingle
他的哭聲使風起了皺紋，與清晨融為一體
An assault upon the order, the changing of the guard
衝擊了秩序，更換衛兵
Chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard
選擇了無望的挑戰
And the only single sound is the sighing of the stars
唯一的聲音就是星星的嘆息
But to the silence and distance they are sworn
但他們對於沉默和間隔發了誓
So dance dance dance
所以跳舞，跳舞吧
Teach us to be true
教導我們要真實
Come dance dance dance
來跳舞，跳舞吧
Cause we love you

Images of innocence charge him go on
無罪的照片指控他們繼續前行
But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn
但是命運的墮落在尋找一個棋子
To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
他對知識的噩夢打開了大門
And a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate
一個令人目眩的啟示被放在他的盤子裡
That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate
在最偉大的愛之下是一場仇恨的颶風
And God help the critic of the dawn
願上帝保佑黎明的批評家
So he stands on the sea and shouts to the shore
於是他站在海上，對著海岸大喊
But the louder that he screams the longer hes ignored
但他叫得越響，被忽視的時間就越長
For the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs
因為遺忘之酒，必喝盡渣滓
And the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged

Then this overflow of life is crushed into a liar

The gentle soul is ripped apart and tossed into the fire
溫柔的靈魂被撕裂，扔進火裡
First a smile of rejection at the nearness of the night

Truth becomes a tragedy limping from the light
真理變成了一場悲劇，一瘸一拐地離開了光明
All the heavens are horrified, they stagger from the sight
諸天都驚駭，見這光景就發顫
As the cross is trembling with desire

Now, who would want to hurt such a hero of the game?

As they wait for a new thrill parade
