and showed him there were good reasonsfor communicating with me.
我跟他说了我的故事
I told him my story.
为了证实我心里想的是同一个男孩

时间越来越接近
Nearer and nearer draws the time
那时光必然是
the time that shall surely be
地球弃满上帝荣耀的时刻

一如海洋弃满着海水
as the waters cover the sea
继续敲吧
Ring on.
为了早夭的诞生…
For births that lead to early deaths…
为了地狱的婚礼…

每个人的生活,不管口袋里有钱没钱…
In every life, no matter how fullor empty one’s purse…
总是有悲剧发生
there is tragedy.
