There's a place
有一个地方
Where words mean nothing or much less
言语毫无意义
Such a disgrace
真是耻辱
We got to get out of this mess
我们必须摆脱困境
Coming in under the cover of darkness
在黑暗的笼罩下悄然而至
How high shall we build this wall
我们要把高墙建多高
I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless
我可以说更多的话，但这似乎是无情的。
How hard did I slam that door
我摔门是多么用力
I swore I'd never walk away
我发誓我绝不会离你而去
Until I saw this day
直到我看见这一天
It didn't turn out the way we planned
结果和我们计划的不一样
Now I'm living in
现在我活在
Broken Promise Land
违背诺言的土地
Broken Promise Land
违背诺言的土地
There's a town I know
我知道有一个小镇
Has a strange resemblance to Jericho
和杰里科有着奇怪的相似之处
Even though

Seven horns are getting ready to blow
七只号角准备吹响
Coming in under the cover of darkness
在黑暗的笼罩下悄然而至
How high shall we build this wall
我们要把高墙建多高
Could've said more but it would've seemed heartless
我本可以多说几句但这似乎是冷血无情
How tight shall we close that door
我们该如何紧闭心门
They only claimed to be redeemed
他们只说得到救赎
They take that name and then blaspheme
他们取了这个名字开始亵渎上帝
It didn't turn out the way we planned
结果和我们计划的不一样
Now I'm living in
现在我活在
Broken Promise Land
违背诺言的土地
Broken Promise Land
违背诺言的土地
There's a place

Where infidels and showgirls meet

Such a disgrace
真是耻辱
Wedding bells crumble in the street
婚礼的钟声在街上响起
Coming in under the cover of darkness
在黑暗的笼罩下悄然而至
How high shall we build this wall
我们要把高墙建多高
I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless

How tight shall we shut that door
我们该如何紧闭心门
In the name of the Father and the Son
以父与子的名义
In the name of gasoline and a gun

It didn't turn out the way we planned
结果和我们计划的不一样
Now I'm living in
