Текст песни Cheek. (The Chariot) с переводом

I found the answer… open your hands

Found the answer… open your hands

Open your hands

Open your hands

Open

Reach out, distance enough, fair maiden in hand

All in all, we ain’t… But, we press on!

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an Emperor. That’s not my business.

I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if

possible: Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another.

Human beings are like that

We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.

We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there’s room for

everyone and the good earth is rich, we can provide for everyone.

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way

Greed has poisoned men’s souls has barricaded the world with hate,

has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed

We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives

abundance has left us in want

Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness hard and unkind.

We think too much, and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity.

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities

life will be violent, and all will be lost

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together

The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men,

cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now,

my voice is reaching millions throughout the world: millions of despairing men,

women, and little children; victims of a system that makes men torture and

imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say «Do not despair.»

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of

men who fear the way of human progress

The hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the power they took from the

people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never

perish

Soldiers, don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you,

who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel,

who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder

Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds

and machine hearts. You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!

You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don’t hate. Only the unloved

hate, the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers, don’t fight for slavery,

fight for liberty!

In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written «The kingdom of God is

within man.» Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men. In you,

you the people have the power!

The power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people

have the power to make life free and beautiful to make this life a wonderful

adventure. Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power.

Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give

men a chance to work that will give youth a future and old age a security

By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power, but they lie,

they do not fulfill their promise. They never will. Dictators free themselves

but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise.

Let us fight to free the world. To do away with national barriers,

to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of

reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness

Soldiers! In the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Don’t set the sun

Or let hearts grow dim

Return back to the hill

That you left

With the city in your hands

And if nothing’s left

The forest marches on

Forget not who you are

(Children of the sun)

My point is

Salt is on the ground

The cast are on their way

The audience is set

Now that we’ve painted faith

Shout, «Victory is yours!»
