A church is burning
一座教堂付之一炬
The flames rise higher
熊熊烈焰愈发熊熊
Like hands that are praying
就像虔诚祈祷的双手
They grow in the sky
它们生长在天空中
Like hands that are praying
就像虔诚祈祷的双手
The fire ascends
烈火熊熊
You can burn down my churches
你可以烧毁我的教堂
But I shall be free
但我会自由自在
Three hooded men through the back roads did creep
三个戴着兜帽的男人在后面的路上鬼鬼祟祟
Torches in their hands
他们手中的火把
While the village lies asleep
当整个村庄沉睡时
Down to the church where just hours before
去教堂几小时前
Voices were singing and
歌声响起
Hands were meeting and
双手合十
Saying I won't be a slave anymore
我说我再也不会做奴隶
A church is burning
一座教堂付之一炬
The flames rise higher
熊熊烈焰愈发熊熊
Like hands that are praying
就像虔诚祈祷的双手
They glow in the sky
它们在天空中闪烁
Like hands that are praying
就像虔诚祈祷的双手
The fire ascends
烈火熊熊
You can burn down my churches
你可以烧毁我的教堂
But I shall be free
但我会自由自在
Three hooded men their hands lit the spark
三个戴着头巾的男人他们的手点燃了焰火
And they faded in the night
它们在黑夜中消失
They vanished in the dark
他们消失在黑暗中
And in the cold light of morning
在寒冷的晨曦中
There was nothing that remained
已经荡然无存
But the ashes of a bible and a can of kerosene
只有一本圣经的灰烬和一罐煤油
And a church is burning
一座教堂付之一炬
The flames rise higher
熊熊烈焰愈发熊熊
Like hands that are praying
就像虔诚祈祷的双手
They glow in the sky
它们在天空中闪烁
Like hands that are prayin'
就像虔诚祈祷的双手
The fire ascends
烈火熊熊
You can burn down my churches
你可以烧毁我的教堂
But I shall be free
但我会自由自在
A church is more than just timber and stone
教堂不只是木材和石头
And freedom is a dark road
自由是一条黑暗的道路
When you're walking it alone
当你独自前行时
But the future is now
但未来就在眼前
And it's time to take a stand
是时候表明立场了
So the lost bells of freedom
失去了自由的钟声
Can ring out in my land
在我的地盘上响起
A church is burning
一座教堂付之一炬
The flames rise higher
熊熊烈焰愈发熊熊
Like hands that are praying
就像虔诚祈祷的双手
They glow in the sky
它们在天空中闪烁
Like hands that are praying
就像虔诚祈祷的双手
The fire ascends
烈火熊熊
You can burn down my churches
你可以烧毁我的教堂
But I shall be free
但我会自由自在
