Текст песни In the Company of the Damned (Emma Pollock) с переводом

And you thought you were invited

That you could ring the bell

That you had been accepted

By the leader of the ring

Whose influence was sure to bring

Liars and cheats

To your feet

Bestowed upon your being

The very smile that made you real

The very reason to stand upright

A commendation that took years

Of petty fights and stinging tears

Space trash satellites

Trying to catch the sun tonight

But on arrival you are slighted

With the subtlest of grins

Cause the cousin and the confidante

Will never let you win

It’s just too thin this skin you’re in

Well come out of your hiding spot

We all know that you’re there

And we’re wondering is this really all you’ve got?

As you barter with your fists

And leave us taking all the risks

Sycophants & Sidekicks

Taking out the new tricks

And when you finally are granted

This position of command

Do you really want to stay here?

In the company of the damned

As they prepare to take your hand

Torment with true ambition

Even eating is a competition

Maybe I would understand more

If I was underhand

And waited by the side-lines

To trip her up and watch her land

But I do not crave calamity, no

I can only stand and stare

And wonder what she’ll do when

There’s no one left to spare

So lonely in her lair
