Текст песни Crawling Through Nothing to Nothing (Slaves BC) с переводом

Death waits at the end of this weathered path

onto which we all crawled screaming and naked from the womb

Between the sun and our bodies, the only change

is time and chance — plague roulettes to rain upon us all

Here we slave ragged for the same ground

showered with the blood of righteous men

Better is sorrow than laughter for the heart

and the day of death than the day of birth

Come now, I said to myself, to find out what has worth

all proved meaningless

And when every concubine was spent, and every drop of wine was poured

Death still hadn’t moved

One sweeping view of / the works of my hands

and everything I / had toiled to achieve

The only thing that / stared back at me was

the wind that I had / spent my life chasing

We pass through this life like a shadow

(This too is meaningless)

City of the buried dead

(This too is meaningless)

We sip from wisdom’s row

(This too is meaningless)

Woe to us who drink the song of fools

(This too is meaningless)

Wisdom comes chained to sorrow

Knowledge is sewn to grief

Renamed solace / laughter is madness

Bored of bodies / pleasure is empty

Wealth and wisdom / our gains are nothing

For the future / remembers no one

Time by time we crawl and crawl and every man is dead and buried

Crime by crime and song by song our deeds are gone, our lives forgotten
