Текст песни Mount Tam (Anima Urbis) (Leslie Fish) с переводом

Here I sit on the head of Mount Tam

Might as well be in Vietnam --

The battle is coming soon

The stars are hid, but the sky is grey

With the lights of the City that rings the Bay

In the shape of a crescent moon

So if there be anything here

That cometh not in the name of the Powers of Light

Then in the name of the Powers of Light let it be gone!

Cities live. The stones have soul

As long as one dweller stands up whole

And here are three million lives

Their spirits run through the nerves of wire

Through the concrete bones and the furnace-fire --

The body of stone survives

Warnings groan that the deep-plate crack

Will shake one burden from Earth’s green back --

Tonight one of us goes down

So here we fight with our wizards' force

To shift the Fault on its other course

And swallow the Southern crown

We who feel the currents of power

Have no rest in the darkening hour

Of a war that we did not choose

But if one city must fall to brine

I swear that city shall not be mine

I do not intend to lose

So aim the bolt, and raise the shield --

The choice is cruel, but we dare not yield

When life is the prize of war

San Andreas, we curse your name

As we strike your Fault with our silent flame

And deflect and deflect once more!

So if there be anything here

That cometh not in the name of the Powers of Light

Then in the name of the Powers of Light let it be gone!

Let it be gone!

Let it be gone!
