Tell me how do we begin this tragic tale With centuries of fear and hate have left a bloody trail And will there come a time we'll live to see When the sins of our fathers and mothers will cease to be?
| |
|
Est-ce possible d'oublier Pourrons-nous nous pardonner Nos fils pourront-ils vivre De la mémoire des livres et du sang sous nos pieds
|
And can we find a way to live and let live When we know the hardest part is learning to forgive
|
|
Après les hécatombes Le coeur comme une bombe Au milieu des décombres Qui voudra venir au monde
|
And who will be the first and who will be last To admit that the future can never be lived in the past
|
|
Priez debout, plus jamais à genoux Y'a sûrement un homme assez fou Pour tuer les dieux qui nous déchirent depuis la nuit des temps
|
So pray tonight pray we must But prayers alone cannot build the trust For all those people whose vengeance is their vow
|
|
Eye for eye tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children’s children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now
| |
|
Comment pourront nos yeux rongé par la honte trouver de la lumière pendant que la nuit tombe sur la fin d'un monde
|
How do we repair the damage done To all of those who've known the loss Of daughters and of sons
|
|
And can we really feel another’s pain While the killing continues from Adam and Able to Cain
Eye for eye tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children’s children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now
| |
|
Priez mes frères Condamnez la guerre qui brûle au quatre coins de la terre Priez pour tous ceux qui veulent venger leurs enfants
|
So pray tonight we kill the beast That lives among us from west to east And all the people whose vengeance is their vow
|
|
Eye for eye tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children’s children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now One hundred years from now | |
