take away our timber 拿走我们的木材

I've watched the coal cars steal our rock 我看过的煤车偷我们的摇滚

nothing left to take we're told 没有什么可以把我们被告知

that the wheels will stop turning, 该车轮会停止转动，

the whistles will stop blowing, 的口哨声将停止吹气，

these foolish dreams must stop 这些愚蠢的梦想必须停止

still stands like a cenotaph 仍然站立像衣冠冢

to a vision lost and buried in 一个失去了视力，埋在

a very distant past 一个很遥远的过去

The train in the station, 在车站的列车，

your uniform on fire 制服上的火

as you step onto the platform 当你踏上平台

the band plays a little louder, 在乐队演奏大声一点，

leaving nothing but broken promises 只留下破碎的承诺
