Текст песни The Anatomy of Time (Babel) (Silent Planet) с переводом

Certain was the fear trembling in your father’s chest

Encountering the ancients in a graveyard for those who never rest

Even the wind lay still as time revealed the fools we are

Quiet monoliths appear, suspended in the air

Solemn in their countenance, impervious to fear

Marveling at the symmetry that binds and brings us here

Separating threads of space, distinctions disappear

Take all of your answers, throw them in the flames

I’ll keep the questions, I’ll take the rain

Defend all your doctrines, those lies you had sworn

I’ll wander through the night, I’ll sleep in the storm

I’ll follow you to the end, I’ll weather the world, I’ll sleep in the storm

I’ll follow you to the end where time has no beginning

I pulled the past apart, futures unraveled with its plans

To my chagrin, the answers felt hollow in my hands

Adorned with memories that form the tapestry of life

Collective accounts of consciousness from virtue to vice

«Where are you now?» My voice echoed in that canyon

I turned to find you lynched, choking with abandon

The scope of time at first profuse, now twisted to the shape of a noose

We wanted to see forever, but instead we saw the truth

Species of the nightmare, people of the dream

Language is your prison but also the key

Confront the heart of fear

Behold the shape of destiny

Spinning in the circles, waltz with the sun

There’s no time, many turn to one

Take all of your answers, throw them in the flames

I’ll keep the questions, I’ll take the rain

Defend all your doctrines, those lies you had sworn

I’ll wander through the night, I’ll sleep in the storm

I’ll follow you to the end, I’ll weather the world, I’ll sleep in the storm

I’ll follow you to the end where time has no beginning

Blinded by the shadow of what we’ve seen

Empty in our depths of understanding

Burdened with the weight of paradox

I fear we have been sentenced to be free
