Lirik The Dead Mans Dream (Terjemahan)

Alternatif

As I lay down dying, a floor for my bed
Saat aku terbaring sekarat, lantai jadi tempat tidurku
And a bundle of newspaper under my head
Dan selembar koran jadi bantal di kepalaku
I dreamed a dream, as strange as could be
Aku bermimpi, mimpi yang aneh sekali
Concerning myself, and somebody like me
Tentang diriku, dan seseorang yang mirip denganku
We were in some city, the stranger and me
Kami berada di sebuah kota, aku dan orang asing itu
The houses were open, and the streets empty
Rumah-rumah terbuka, dan jalanan sepi
The windows were bare, and the pavements dirty
Jendela-jendela kosong, dan trotoar kotor
I asked where I was; my companion ignored me
Aku bertanya di mana aku; temanku mengabaikanku
We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone
Kami masuk ke pemakaman dan mencari nisan
The graves were disturbed, and the coffins wide open
Kuburan-kuburan berantakan, dan peti mati terbuka lebar
And the corpses were rotten, yet each one was living
Dan mayat-mayat membusuk, tapi masing-masing masih hidup
Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling
Mata mereka hidup dengan belatung merayap
I cried out in fear, but my voice had left me
Aku berteriak ketakutan, tapi suaraku hilang
My legs were deformed, yet I moved quite freely
Kakiku cacat, namun aku bergerak dengan bebas
My head was on fire, yet my hands were icy
Kepalaku terbakar, namun tanganku dingin
And everywhere light, yet darkness engulfed me
Di mana-mana ada cahaya, namun kegelapan meliputiku
I managed to scream and woke from my slumber
Aku berhasil berteriak dan terbangun dari tidurku
I thought of my dream and lay there and wondered
Aku memikirkan mimpiku dan terbaring di sana, merenung
Where had I been? What could it mean?
Di mana aku tadi? Apa artinya?
It was dark in the deathroom as I slithered under
Gelap di ruang kematian saat aku merayap ke bawah
