The Mercy Seat

O Propiciatório

It began when they come took me from my home It began when they come took me from my home Começou quando eles me tiraram de minha casa And put me in Dead Row, And put me in Dead Row, E me colocaram no corredor da morte. Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know. Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know. Por mim um crime do qual eu sou quase totalmente inocente, você sabe. And I'll say it again And I'll say it again E eu direi de novo: I.. am.. not.. afraid.. to.. die. I.. am.. not.. afraid.. to.. die. Eu não tenho medo de morrer. I began to warm and chill I began to warm and chill Eu comecei a ficar enternecido e indiferente To objects and their fields, To objects and their fields, Aos objetos e seus lugares. A ragged cup, a twisted mop A ragged cup, a twisted mop Um copo maltrapilho, um esfregão torcido, The face of Jesus in my soup The face of Jesus in my soup O rosto de Jesus em minha sopa Those sinister dinner meals Those sinister dinner meals Aquelas sinistras refeições, The meal trolley's wicked wheels The meal trolley's wicked wheels As maldosas rodas do carrinho de refeições. A hooked bone rising from my food A hooked bone rising from my food Um osso curvado emergindo da minha comida. All things either good or ungood. All things either good or ungood. Todas as coisas são boas e não-boas. And the mercy seat is waiting And the mercy seat is waiting E o propiciatório está esperando And I think my head is burning And I think my head is burning E eu acho que minha cabeça está queimando And in a way I'm yearning And in a way I'm yearning E de certo modo estou ansioso To be done with all this measuring of truth. To be done with all this measuring of truth. Que esteja terminada esta medição da verdade. An eye for an eye An eye for an eye Olho por olho, A tooth for a tooth A tooth for a tooth Dente por dente. And anyway I told the truth And anyway I told the truth E de qualquer forma eu falei a verdade And I'm not afraid to die. And I'm not afraid to die. E eu não tenho medo de morrer.

I hear stories from the chamber I hear stories from the chamber Eu escuto histórias vindas do quarto de dormir How Christ was born into a manger How Christ was born into a manger Sobre como Cristo nasceu em uma mangedoura And like some ragged stranger And like some ragged stranger E como algum estranho esfarrapado Died upon the cross Died upon the cross Morreu pendurado na cruz And might I say it seems so fitting in its way And might I say it seems so fitting in its way E eu diria que me parece apropriado. He was a carpenter by trade He was a carpenter by trade Ele era um carpinteiro comerciante Or at least that's what I'm told Or at least that's what I'm told Pelo menos é isso que me contaram Like my good hand I Like my good hand I Como minha mão bondosa eu tatuei tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist M.A.L no punho de seu irmão That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. Aqueles cinco asquerosos! Não fizeram nada para resistir ou me desafiar.

Down here it's made of wood and wire Down here it's made of wood and wire Aqui embaixo ele é feito de madeira e arames And my body is on fire And my body is on fire E meu corpo queima And God is never far away. And God is never far away. E Deus nunca está distante. Into the mercy seat I climb Into the mercy seat I climb No propiciatório eu ascendo My head is shaved, my head is wired My head is shaved, my head is wired Minha cabeça está raspada, minha cabeça está enrolada em arames. And like a moth that tries And like a moth that tries E como uma mariposa que tenta To enter the bright eye To enter the bright eye Adentrar o olho brilhante I go shuffling out of life I go shuffling out of life E vou desonestamente evitando a vida Just to hide in death awhile Just to hide in death awhile Simplesmente para me esconder na morte por um tempinho And anyway I never lied. And anyway I never lied. E de qualquer forma eu nunca menti. My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L. My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L. Minha mão assassina é chamada de M.Á. Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D.
