Wish you were here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

所以，所以你以为你可以
从地狱辨认天堂
从痛楚里辨认蓝天
你能否从冰冷的铁轨辨识翠绿的田园？
从面纱辨识微笑？
你真以为你可以么？

而他们是否用鬼魂换走了你的英雄？
用灼热的灰烬换走树木？
用滚烫的空气换走凉爽的微风？
用漠然的舒适换走改变？
你是否那战场上行走的无名士兵
换取了一个囚禁在牢笼里的领袖？

我多么盼望，多么盼望你也在此
你我只是两尾在雨缸里泅游的失落孤魂
年复一年
在同一块地里往复奔走
我们找到了什么？同样的、熟悉的恐惧
希望你也在这里
