《Requiem for a Private War》的歌詞如下:
It's a requiem for a private war
這是為一場私人戰爭所作的安魂曲
That was lost in the endless chase
在無休止的追逐中迷失
And the truth was buried in the rubble
真相在廢墟中埋沒
Of a life that was torn apart
生命被撕裂成碎片
Now I'm writing this song for you
現在我為你寫這首歌
To bring you some comfort in your time of fear
在你恐懼的時刻給你帶來些許安慰
For all the things you've lost and all the dreams you've given up
對於你失去的一切和放棄的所有夢想
I'll sing you a song to bring you peace of mind
我會唱給你一首歌,給你帶來內心的平靜
In this darkest hour you may feel alone
在最黑暗的時刻,你可能會感到孤獨
But remember there's always someone who cares
但請記住,總有人關心你
And though we're far apart, I'll be there for you
雖然我們遠隔千里,我會一直在你身邊
So don't give up, don't give in
所以不要放棄,不要屈服
You've got to hold on, till the morning light
你要堅持下去,直到黎明的曙光
For all the things you've lost and all the dreams you've given up
對於你失去的一切和放棄的所有夢想
I'll stand by your side to keep you strong
我會站在你身邊,讓你變得更堅強
Now it's time to rise up from the ashes
現在是時候從灰燼中站起來了
To find a new tomorrow to call your own
去尋找屬於自己的新明天
So let my song be a light in the darkest nights
所以讓我的歌在黑暗的夜晚成為一盞明燈
To guide you through the pain and let you know
指引你穿過痛苦,讓你知道
That there is a light at the end of the tunnel
隧道盡頭總會有光明的存在
