Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
Dahulu kala di kaki sebuah gunung besar,
there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived,
ada sebuah kota di mana orang-orang yang dikenal sebagai Happyfolk tinggal,
their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,
keberadaan mereka adalah misteri bagi dunia luar,
obscured as it was by great clouds.
tersembunyi di balik awan yang tebal.
Here they played out their peaceful lives,
Di sini, mereka menjalani kehidupan damai,
innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below.
tak terpengaruh oleh banyaknya keburukan dan kekerasan yang terjadi di dunia bawah.
To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.
Hidup selaras dengan roh gunung yang disebut Monyet sudah cukup bagi mereka.
Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town.
Namun suatu hari, Strangefolk datang ke kota ini.
They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses, but no one noticed them: they only saw shadows.
Mereka datang dengan penyamaran, tersembunyi di balik kacamata hitam, tetapi tak ada yang menyadari: mereka hanya melihat bayangan.
You see, without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.
Lihatlah, tanpa Kebenaran Mata, Happyfolk buta.

Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Jatuh dari pesawat dan bersembunyi di lubang-lubang
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Menunggu matahari terbenam, orang-orang pulang
Jump back from behind them and shoot them in the head
Melompat dari belakang mereka dan menembak di kepala
Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
Kini semua orang menari dalam tarian kematian,
the dance of the dead,
tarian kematian,
the dance of the dead
tarian kematian.

In time, Strangefolk found their way
Seiring waktu, Strangefolk menemukan jalan mereka
into the high reaches of the mountain,
menuju puncak gunung,
and it was there that they found the caves
dan di sanalah mereka menemukan gua-gua
of unimaginable Sincerity and Beauty.
yang penuh dengan Kejujuran dan Keindahan yang tak terbayangkan.
By chance, they stumbled upon the Place
Secara kebetulan, mereka tersandung pada Tempat
Where All Good Souls Come to Rest.
Di mana Semua Jiwa Baik Beristirahat.
The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels
Strangefolk menginginkan permata-permata
in these caves above all things,
di gua-gua ini di atas segalanya,
and soon they began to mine the mountain,
dan segera mereka mulai menambang gunung itu,
its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.
kandungan berharga itu memicu kekacauan di dunia mereka sendiri.
Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
Sementara itu, di kota, Happyfolk tidur gelisah,
their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
mimpi mereka diserang oleh sosok-sosok bayangan yang menggerogoti jiwa mereka.
Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.
Setiap hari, orang-orang bangun dan menatap gunung.
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
Mengapa itu membawa kegelapan dalam hidup mereka?
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,
Dan saat Strangefolk menambang semakin dalam ke dalam gunung,
holes began to appear, bringing with them a cold
lubang-lubang mulai muncul, membawa angin dingin
and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of them up.
dan angin pahit yang membekukan jiwa mereka.
For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful
Untuk pertama kalinya, Happyfolk merasa ketakutan
for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep.
karena mereka tahu bahwa Monyet akan segera terbangun dari tidurnya yang dalam.
And then came a sound.
Dan kemudian datanglah suara.
Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense
Awalnya jauh, suara itu tumbuh menjadi bencana yang sangat besar
it could be heard far away in space.
yang bisa didengar jauh di luar angkasa.
There were no screams.
Tak ada teriakan.
There was no time.
Tak ada waktu.
The mountain called Monkey had spoken.
Gunung yang disebut Monyet telah berbicara.
There was only fire.
Hanya ada api.
And then, nothing.
Dan kemudian, tidak ada lagi.

O little town in U.S.A, your time has come to see
Oh kota kecil di AS, saatmu telah tiba untuk melihat
There's nothing you believe you want
Tak ada yang kau percayai kau inginkan
But where were you when it all came down on me?
Tapi di mana kau saat semua ini menimpaku?
Did you call me now?
Apakah kau memanggilku sekarang?
