What's Left of the Flag
His eyes, they closed and his last breath spoke
他的眼睛已永遠閉上
He had seen all to be seen
他已看遍人間
A life once full, now an empty vase
鮮活的人生如今空空如也
Wilt the blossoms on his early grave
墓前的花兒已經枯萎
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
離去吧孩子，離去吧孩子
And by morning we'll be free
明天我們就會自由
Wipe that golden tear from your mother, dear
幫你母親擦去淚水，孩子
And raise what's left of the flag for me
為我舉起那殘旗
Then the rosary beads, count them one, two, three
撥動念珠，一二三四
Fell apart as they hit the floor
掉落地上，支離破碎
In a garb of black, we must pay respect
穿上黑衣，表示敬意
To the color we're born to mourn
哀悼那已逝去的
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys
離去吧孩子們，離去吧孩子們
By morning we'll be free
明天我們就會自由
Wipe that golden tear from your mother, dear

In this place there grew an angry festered wound
在這潰爛的傷口裡
Filled with hatred and remorse
裡面全是仇恨和悔意
Where I pick and scratch 'til the blood amassed
我抓來撓去血流滿地
To silent rage now that fills my lungs
胸中滿腔壓抑的怒氣
For there are many ways to kill a man, they say
人們說殺人有很多方式
With bayonet, axe or sword
用刺刀、用斧頭、用利劍
But son, a bullet fired from a shapeless guise
但孩子，這是一顆無形的子彈
Just put the shell of a Thompson gun
從湯姆森衝鋒槍飛射而來
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys
離去吧孩子們，離去吧孩子們
And by morning we 'll be free
明天我們就會自由
Wipe that golden tear from your mother, dear
幫你母親擦去淚水，孩子
Raise what's left of the flag for me
為我舉起那殘旗
From the east out to the western shore
從東海岸到西海岸
Where many menand many more will fall
年輕人仍在前赴後繼
But no angel flies with me tonight
但今晚沒有天使陪伴
Though freedom reigns on all
雖然自由終將到來
And curse the name for which we slaved our days
詛咒奴役我們之地
So every men chose Kingdom Come
人人選擇王國降臨
But sure as night turns day it's the passion play
日日夜夜，熱情為繼
Oh, my God, what have they done
哦，我的上帝，他們犯了何事
With madmans rage, well, they dug our graves
憤怒地瘋狂地為我們挖掘墓地
But the dead rise again, you fools
蠢貨們，亡靈必將再次降臨
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys
離去吧孩子們，離去吧孩子們
And by morning we'll be free
明天我們就會自由
Wipe that golden tear from your mother, dear
幫你母親擦去淚水，孩子
Raise what's left of the flag for me
並為我舉起那殘旗
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys
離去吧孩子們，離去吧孩子們
And by morning we'll be free
明天我們就會自由
Wipe that golden tear from your mother, dear

And raise what's left of the flag for me
