21 Guns/最高禮讚

Do you know what's worth fighting for
有什麼值得我們沙場征戰
When it's not worth dying for?
當你瞭解生命的可貴
Does it take your breath away
中彈時你是否倒抽了一口氣
And you feel yourself suffocating
感到窒息難受
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
苦痛是否早已淹沒了榮譽感
And you look for a place to hide
而你只想找個地方躲起來
Did someone break your heart inside
你的心是否早已傷透
You're in ruins
只剩軀體在苟延殘喘

One, 21 Guns
在喪禮鳴擊第一響後
Lay down your arms
放下武器
Give up the fight
別再戀戰
One, 21 Guns
當禮讚第一響後
Throw up your arms into the sky
把武器丟得遠遠的
You and I...
不分敵我

When you're at the end of the road
當你站在路的盡頭
And you lost all sense of control
失去所有感知能力
And your thoughts have taken their toll
任何念頭都消失無蹤
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
思考能力擊碎你的靈魂
Your faith walks on broken glass
信念步履蹣跚
And the hangover doesn't pass
昨晚的宿醉都還沒退去
Nothing's ever built to last
沒有一件事能永遠不變
You're in ruins
你早已傷透

One, 21 Guns
在喪禮鳴擊第一響後
Lay down your arms
放下武器
Give up the fight
別再戰鬥
One, 21 Guns
當禮讚第一響後
Throw up your arms into the sky
把武器丟得遠遠的
You and I...
不分敵我

Did you try to live on your own
你有沒有變成你想成為的那個人
When you burned down the house and home
當你燒毀房子、摧毀家庭時也是實踐自我的一部分嗎
Did you stand too close to the fire?
你靠火太近了
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
在戰後才悔恨交加是徒勞的

When it's time to live and let die
站在決定一個人生死的節骨眼
And you can't get another try
你選擇是不能回頭的
Something inside this heart has died
在心底的良善是否還存活著
You're in ruins
或著早已死去

One, 21 Guns
在喪禮鳴擊第一響後
Lay down your arms
放下武器
Give up the fight
別再戀戰
One, 21 Guns
當禮讚第一響後
Throw up your arms into the sky
把武器都丟得遠遠的
One, 21 Guns
在喪禮鳴擊第一響後
Lay down your arms
卸下盔甲
Give up the fight
停止互相傷害
One, 21 Guns
當禮讚第一響後
Throw up your arms into the sky
把武器丟得遠遠的

You and I...
不分敵我

但希望我們都有得到教訓，戰爭都已走入歷史
