Текст песни On and On (Declan de Barra) с переводом

On and on, and on and on we go

where it ends, no one really knows

The drunkard by the fire, the mother prays in time

the kids are getting restless and the soldiers open fire

On and on, but no one really learns

history repeats itself — another city burns

The priests they have their gods, the rich man has his coins

the poor man sits and hopes that we’ll be equal when we die

On and on, and on and on we go

dancing while it’s burning, as we watch the ice approach

The rats have left their ship and sailed for golden shores

The believers lose their faith and the cynics try and hope

On and on, and on and on we go

drifting from the shoreline as we try to stay afloat

There is no second coming, no Coca-Cola Christ

The final bill’s arrived and we can’t afford the price

And all of the angels try to drink themselves to death

singing this is all there is and this is all we get

this song will die and remain unsung

as the water rises and seeps into our lungs

Soon this will be all that we can hear

the laughing of a thousand tiny hopeless tears

coming to wash our bodies down the river bed

to rally in the ocean, a concert of the dead

Oh oh oh, do you think there is another world?

Oh oh oh, do you think it’ll be as cruel?

Oh oh oh, do you think there is another world?

Oh oh oh, I guess we’ll find out soon.
