THE MILL Songtext
von Ferry

Two do the job, the third one is witness
Don′t shoot the guards, no need for guns, check this
Don't go across, the longer road′s safer
Watch as the bolt's trajectory wavers

Learn it by heart, now the hardest part comes when
Staggering doubt paralyzes you, and then
You fall apart like a house of cards, might as
Well, disregard it as a cursory mantra

Ah, my head feels heavy once again
I wish I could dissolve myself in this rusty air
It's gettin′ harder to act like I don′t really care
I'm sorry, but these earnest words of yours are just too much to bear

Я вижу тебя, дымка стелется над розовой дугой
Предрассветного далёкого, как в детстве, свечения
И с наших рук земля осыпается
Чёрная земля осыпается


Обёрнутая в синее полотно
Она идёт за мной бледным призраком, туманы над водою
Дымка предрассветная стелется седым покровом
Ровным над тихою, над тихою рекою

I′ll draw a circle in the sand, drive myself around the bend
In a desperate attempt to hold onto your battered hand
Rocked to sleep beneath the snow, she is bathed in youthful glow
Strong enough to let it go, he says, "But darling, I don't know"

This isn′t my first time sinkin' lower than the low
How hard can it be to never let it overflow?
Oh, I′ve gotten used to bein' haunted long ago
All I need to hear is a simple "Hello"

Right through the arc of breaking dawn
Through the haze and through the maw
Of the grinder, I won't find her, but I′ll guide you through them all
No more circles left to find in the windmills of this mind
Rest your members, now remember, dear, you′ve always been too kind

Oh, it's nothing new, the visionless leadin′ the blind
It's easy to say, "Why don′t you leave it all behind?"
And this moral compass is forever misaligned
All I need to hear is that you'll be there


By my side
But you can never know that (too strong to die)
Or was that me again? (I know that)
There has to be some hope that′s
Just out of sight

I won't let myself lose it again
And now my only hope is that one day you'll understand
I′ll wrap the chain ′round my heart and her hammerin' neck
And save what′s left, though I know that
One day this weight will come to break my back

Once again, we were left in the dust
Self-hating ones like us crack when we betray someone's trust
So if you must shield your heart with these layers of rust
The sun will rise, until then, I′ll be waitin' for you on the other side
