Written by：Elvis Costello

No one looks in this place for motive or any hope
无人在这地方寻找动机或希望
But for the dead shot of an amber glass
只为那琥珀杯中致命的一击
The blue light of a votive
那蓝色烛光的微弱闪烁
Rain obscured the window
雨水模糊了窗外的景象
As the pain was dulled by the grains
痛苦被谷物的麻醉所掩盖
Absolved by spoons in flames
火焰中的勺子带来片刻的解脱
In fear in time dissolving
在恐惧中，时间逐渐消融
It's not for the faint of pulse
这不是为心跳微弱之人准备的
Or anybody false
或是任何虚伪之人
Those amateurs who simply shed their skins
那些轻易蜕皮的业余者
So where are those traitors now we once called patriots
那些我们曾称为爱国者的叛徒如今何在
Just like those saints who seem to revel in their sins
就像那些似乎陶醉于罪恶的圣人
O my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging
我的眼中充满了刺痛的热泪
After our assassin's work was done
在我们暗杀任务完成后
But bells in hands are only there for the wringing
但手中的钟只为了敲响
And we were bringing bullets for the new born king
而我们为新生之王带来了子弹
Trumpet sounds lamenting
号角声哀鸣
Trampling down the blooms of the deceased
践踏着逝者的花朵
The double agent girl and the fallen priest were heading for the border
双面女郎与堕落的牧师正逃向边境
Somewhere in the high command there stayed the palest hand
在高层指挥部的某处，有一双苍白的手
Who saw the order countermand
他看到了撤销的命令
Erased the tape recorder and then they hung him from a window cord
抹去了录音带，然后他们用窗绳将他吊死
Swallow down that voodoo vial and stay your breath a while
吞下那巫毒药水，屏住呼吸片刻
Before we spill this tale that we had spun
在我们揭开这个编织的故事之前
And now I shall now confide all that I have denied
现在我要坦白所有我曾否认的事
Oh I'm so sorry for the things I've done
哦，我为我所做的一切感到抱歉
O my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging
我的眼中充满了刺痛的热泪
After our assassin's work was done
在我们暗杀任务完成后
But bells in hands bells were only there for the ringing
但手中的铃铛只是为了敲响
And we were bringing bullets for the new born king
而我们为新生之王带来了子弹
