Paper Cities

We sent them all across the ocean
我們送他們漂洋過海
Many lives were taken
儘管許多生命不幸逝去
But I didnt cry,
我卻沒有哭泣
I didnt know them
我並不認識他們
And I just looked on with no expression
我只是面無表情地默然看著
This land was once a home
這片土地曾是我們的家園
Of friends and family
那裡有我們的親人朋友
We used to know
和我們往昔的一切
They are all gone now
但現在他們都已離去
They are now gone
他們都已離去
And for what I cannot tell
我不知其原因
Put down your banners and flowers
放下你的橫幅和鮮花吧
This war youve made wont last
這場你挑起的戰爭不會持久
Your country, just lines on a map
你的祖國平靜地坐落在地圖上
Theyre drawn up, they dont last
人們早已停息終止這場戰爭
The paper cities burning
城市在熊熊大火中燃燒
The ashes fell like rain
灰燼如同大雨般飄落
But when the fire was over
但當大火終於熄滅的時候
Everything had changed
一切滄海桑田
The people come together
人們終會再度團結
Reminds us were the same
提醒著人們我們生來一樣
Put down your banners and flowers
放下你的橫幅和鮮花吧
This war youve made wont last
這場你挑起的戰爭不會持久
And your country, just lines on a map
你的祖國平靜地坐落在地圖上
Theyre drawn up but they dont last
人們早已停息終止這場戰爭
