Текст песни Only the Dead Have Seen the End of War (Orphaned Land) с переводом

The prophet has told us that his truth will set us free

He is the blind messiah who cannot find

His way or see the forest for the trees

Even the one who saw the light could not foresee

Shields held high the armies moved on and on

To the next land that to bloodshed was sworn

Oh father — heed us in the time of great need

Remember our prayers and our virtuous deeds

Only the dead have seen the end of war

Make him the prophet, the martyr — pass him the disease

Shut are the eyes of the one bringing us to our knees

The prophet enlightened now covered by night

It serves an example rather blind than having the sight

Let us burn this scapegoat and gather our might

Let this messiah now die, thus ending our plight

Remember the warnings you gave to no end

And the mask that you wore to disguise as a friend

Gone is the savior, no more you pretend

Only the dead have seen the end of war

Evening falls upon us and the future is dim

So the only thing that will save us is to kill him!
