Текст песни Sulphur, Charcoal and Saltpetre (Lord Vicar) с переводом

When I was a boy, all alone

Could not go to sleep, I was afraid

Thinking to myself, I must sleep

Ordering myself: 'time to sleep

But the veil of sleep would not come

I would have to wait in my own dark room

Imagining the world full of horror

Looking through my blinds, reflecting all

Did you think that you could?

Take it in as you should?

Or did you end up crying?

Instead of dying trying…

Old man staring through the eyes of a child

Waiting in the mirror every time

He would always open wounds I was hiding

Horror, old trauma and the fear of dying

These are the ancient measures

The ingredients of nightmares

Expecting tainted pleasures

Receiving only pain

I was a random child

Selected to be taken

Bullied and then tortured

In the name of glory

Forced to scream your prayer

Repeating it ever louder

Filling more bags of powder

Until I dream of nothing

Now I connect the wires

Inhale the power of fire

Offer my living soul

Disappear in a hole

'Do believe in our cause forever

And forever will I stand by your side

Powder and the flame are a priority

But you know just how much you mean to me…

There’s a proper time for separation

And it’s a perfect way to say goodbye

If the doubts arrive there’s a prayer

It will help you be prepared to die

Through the valley of the shadow of death

You will need to hold your head up high

Repeat the prayer through your final breath

Eternal glory comes, and the final rest'

Written on the walls at the house of sorrow

You can find the names of those who burned

Greater yet, the pain in little drawings

I could not remain in that room

But children of that place remain with us

They illustrate the burden of our lies

And make us feel the hell of all those memories

Buried in the grave of the fireflies
