Текст песни The Current (Epic Season) с переводом

What are we looking for?

Where the ocean meets the shore

Where all the answers were before

What are we looking for?

In this land, we want, we sell our soul

Every man for himself has taken its toll

The endless pursuit of happiness

-has ended so lost in loss. I guess that’s where the questions began

What is the wrench in our psychotic plan?

Is the blame on big people with all their big money,

-the pious and the strong with their wine and their honey?

When we look past the facades, all the walls, all the steeples

We find that the monster’s being fed by the people of the middle, of the church,

Of the taverns, and the street

Making love with ourselves and prolonging this beat

On the drum of the lost and the head of the blind

And then we wonder why we’re flat-lined?

We trust the game to the players that we’ve cast

Their political agendas and the rights that they pass

When they fail to prove and save our souls

We shove them and throw them to the wolves

We lift the person who never needs any hand

Then we kick them when they fall and fail to stand

The fear of the unknown clings to us like a fungus

The undead infestation is already among us

We try to rationalize everything that we don’t know

As if the answer to the universe is simply forty-two

Just maybe if we open, let our hearts begin to bleed

Just maybe if we admit that we are empty and we need for others

To extend their hand and break into our hearts

Cause we can’t love another and not be torn apart

But is it what we really want, all the giving, all the dying?

Or when we say that we want life, are we just lying?

This is not the end. We are no further gone.

We just never woke up, never tasted the dawn

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that the truth is found

In any concept with its windows and its pews

No. This hatred has fought down

Every new reformation, each new sight and new sound

Religion is the one that crusaded and abused

That same idea murdered six million Jews

He has stolen many lives, strapped bombs to his chest

He has taken many names, never stops, never rests

He has whispered his lies into the air

So many have believed and kicked out their own chair

No. Hope in not found in religion

Hope is not found in belligerent institution

The truth in the illusion of the endless darkness is that

It’s only as endless as our blind eyes make it up

So wake it up. Let breath fill your lungs

are we looking for a concept, or a person?

So this is life, not to have, but to hold

For no real treasure is plated in gold

Just how much are you willing to lose?

What will you give to allow them to choose?

Will you lay your own life down for your brothers even while they are still-

Screwing your sisters and your mothers-

and your sons and your daughters? Will you step up and father

The fatherless and widows while they’re caught in the cauterizing pain

That callouses so many weary minds

Will you step in and draw them or leave them behind?

I’m not saying we can do this in our own volition

But with crazy Love as our sole ammunition

It goes so far beyond what is normal

But who are we to say what is?
