Was there a time that we knew peace; Was there a time that we knew peace; Houve um tempo em que nós conhecemos a paz when all the children had a place to sleep; when all the children had a place to sleep; Quando todas as crianças tinham um lugar para dormir, when rhetoric was not enough? when rhetoric was not enough? Quando a retórica não era suficiente? Was there a time we weren't at war; Was there a time we weren't at war; Houve um tempo em que não estávamos em guerra, when we knew what our hearts and hands were for? when we knew what our hearts and hands were for? Quando nós soubemos o que nossos corações e mãos estavam? I don't believe there ever was. I don't believe there ever was. Não acredito que isso aconteceu. It's always been a lie, It's always been a lie, Foi sempre uma mentira, a soothing lullaby; a soothing lullaby; Uma tranqüila canção de ninar. we'll soon be swallowed by the sea. we'll soon be swallowed by the sea. Em breve seremos engolidos pelo mar. Was there a time we looked around, Was there a time we looked around, Houve um tempo em que olhamos para os lados, and do we really even want to know what's going down? and do we really even want to know what's going down? E realmente quisemos saber o que estava afundando? Well I think no one really does. Well I think no one really does. Bom, eu acho que ninguém quis. We'd rather close our eyes; We'd rather close our eyes; Nós preferimos fechar nossos olhos; sing soothing lullabies. sing soothing lullabies. E cantar tranqüilas canções de ninar. It's always been a lie, It's always been a lie, Foi sempre uma mentira, a soothing lullaby; a soothing lullaby; Uma tranqüila canção de ninar. we'll soon be swallowed by the sea. we'll soon be swallowed by the sea. Em breve seremos engolidos pelo mar. The water's rising now; The water's rising now; A água está subindo agora. and we will surely drown, and we will surely drown, E certamente nos afogaremos, if we don't turn around. if we don't turn around. Se nós não melhorarmos.
