Was there a time that we know peace; 是有一段时间，我们知道和平;

when all the children had a place to sleep 当所有的孩子们睡觉的地方

when rhetoric was not enough? 当说辞是不够的？

   

Was there a time we weren't at war 是有没有时间，我们并没有在战争中

When we knew what our hearts and hands were for? 当我们知道我们的心和手是什么？

I don't believe there ever was. 我不相信有过了。

   

It's always been a lie, 这一直是一个谎言，

a soothing lullaby 舒缓的摇篮曲

We'll soon be swallowed by the sea 我们很快就会被大海吞噬

   

Was there a time we looked around, 是有一次，我们环顾四周，

and do we really even want to know what's going down 而我们真的连想知道是怎么回事了

Well I think no one really does 嗯，我觉得没有人真正做

   

We'd rather close our eyes 我们宁愿闭上眼睛

sing soothing lullabies 唱摇篮曲舒缓

We'll soon be swallowed by the sea 我们很快就会被大海吞噬

   

The water's rising now 水的，现在上升

and we will surely drown 我们一定会淹死

if we don't turn around 如果我们不转身
