- Nick Cave Henry Rollins
亨利，很抱歉長時間沒有給你寫信
Henry, sorry for not writing in so long
但是最近事情已經越來越糟
But Things have been less than great here lately
我想我非常沮喪，甚至有點震驚
I think I've been depressed, maybe a little in shock
我不知道你是否聽說過
I don't know if you've heard
但是他們已經把我轉移到了另一個監獄
But they've moved me to another prison
這個監獄是超級容量的大型安全部門
This one is a super maximum security unit
首先，州警察會在凌晨兩點衝進來
並且配備有M16突擊步槍和警犬
First, the state police came rushing in on us at 2 o'clock in the morning
他們命令每一個人離開床
With m16 assault rifles and attack dogs
用鐵鍊把我們所有人鎖住，然後帶我們到了這裡
這裡就是傑森與傑西兩人所在的監獄
They got everyone out of bed
但是我們被關在不同的地方
Chained us all up and brought us here
在這裡，我被24小時完全地，徹徹底底地隔離
我關在一個混凝土房間裡，僅留有一個方形鋼製門
This is the same prison where Jason and Jesse are
地面上有一條排水道
But we're in different parts
牆上還有一個噴頭噴水
Here, I'm in complete and total isolation 24 hours a day
以此可以洗漱或者洗澡
I'm in a concrete room with a solid steel door
在這裡，你甚至從來不被准許走在陽光下
There's a drain in the floor
更不必說，他們還大大削減了預算
And a water spout in the wall
因此食物首先減少
That's how you wash or take a shower
我甚至不允許擁有墨水筆
You never even get to go out into the sun here
我利用鋼筆內部的裝填管（譯者猜測即墨囊）來書寫
Not to mention, they had a huge budget cut
這就我的手寫模糊難以辨認的原因
So the first thing they sliced was the food
我還不曾真正意義上感到失望
不過我日以繼夜地躺在床上睡覺
I'm not even allowed to have an ink pen
如今我還在調整適應
I'm writing with a filler tube from inside a pen
只要給予足夠的時間，你幾乎可以適應這裡所有的一切
Which is why my handwriting's atrocious
兩天前，我的上訴被駁回
I haven't reallyfelt depressed in the truest sense of the word
被阿肯色州最高法院否決
But all I've done is lie in bed sleeping day and night
每個人都勸告我，要對上訴心懷期望
Now, I'm adjusting
以及如果有任何幫助到來，那麼這幫助一定是來自聯邦法院
You can adapt to almost anything given enough time
但是當我在新聞上看到這個判決時
我仍然有一種墜落的腹痛感
Two days ago my appeal was denied
我害怕想要退縮了，亨利
Shot down by the Arkanas Supreme Court
我不能把這告訴其他人
Everyone has always told me to expect it
因為這裡的每個人都希望我無所畏懼，毫無顧慮
And if any help comes, it will be from the Federal Court
不過也不全是壞消息
But when I saw this decision in the news
我馬上就可以見到我的兒子賽斯
I still had the feeling in my stomach that I was falling
他將會在一月一日前來看望我一周
他剛過十歲
I'm getting scared Henry
我至今也很難相信
I can't tell anyone else that
特別是當我聽到他叫我爸爸的時候
Cos everyone here wants me to be fearless and to have no doubts
我至今還是很難適應
Not all bad news though
然而我還是很期待這次相見
我現在就該結束了，但是不久就可以聯繫到我
I'll be seeing my son Seth soon
洛麗(Lorrie譯者推測可能是歌詞錯誤，少打了e)和傑伊在討論要使用什麼戰略
He'll be coming for a week-long visit at the 1st of January
我將會與你保持聯絡
He just turned ten years old
達米安
And is still hard to believe
Especially when I hear him call me Dad
I haven't got used to that
I'm really looking forward to it though
I'll close for now but will be in touch soon
Lorri and Jay are discussing what strategy to use from here
I'll keep you posted
Damien
