Will you walk us uptown
你会带我们去上城区吗
And wherever you go
无论你去到何处
You know we will follow
你知道，我们都会追随着你
Will you walk us uptown
你会带我们去上城区吗
And we'll stand in the light
我们会站在你的新杀场
Of your new killing ground
的光芒中
And we won't make a sound
我们不会发出声音
Except to sing our sorrow
我们只会唱出痛楚

While our tears run in torrents
当我们泪如雨下
To suffer in silence or pray for some solace
默默忍受痛苦或祈求些许慰藉
Will you wash away our sins
在枪林弹雨之中
In the cross-fire and cross-currents
你会洗去我们的罪恶吗
As you uncross your fingers
在你的手指不交叉
And take out some insurance
卸下心防时
No matter what the price
无论付出什么代价
It's your own paradise
这就是你自己的天堂

Some hearts are sinking

And some hearts are a-flutter
有人蠢蠢欲动
Some scoop gold from the dirt in the gutter
有人在阴沟里摸索着，在污垢中淘金
Or swallow the earth
有人吞下这些污垢
Pouring into your mouth
吐进你的嘴里
As they bury us upright saying

'Everything's alright'
一切都会好起来的

Like some said that you could

We will feast on your flesh

And drink down your blood
将你的血一饮而尽
Will you haul down that flag

And dishonour that vow
你会违背誓言吗？
Cause we must not change
因为，我们不能改变
It's color now

Each crushed in the corner of their own paradise

That's always assuming
这始终是个假设
That you're partly divine and partly human
你既有神性，又有人性
You're the king of our hearts
你是我们心中的国王
You're the clown with the drum
你是个敲着鼓的小丑

你会带我们去上城区吗
If we promise not to run

Will you walk us uptown
你会带我们去上城区吗
Will you gather us near
你会让我们依偎在你的身边吗
As cowards flee and traitors sneer
当懦夫逃跑了，叛徒冷笑着
Keep a red flag flying
就让红色的旗帜迎风飘扬吧
Keep a blue flag as well
也竖起一面蓝色的旗帜吧
And a white flag in case it all goes to hell
再竖起一面白色的旗帜，以免末日到来
