I dreamed that love would never die
在我梦里，真爱不渝
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

And dreams were made and used and wasted

There was no ransom 4 to be paid

No song unsung
无歌不唱，
No wine untasted
无酒不欢
But the tigers come at night
远方战火，低沉如雷
With their voices soft as thunder
忧心恐慌，如夜将至
As they tear your hope apart
希望与期待已被现实撕裂
And they turn your dream to shame
梦想的实践，如同笑话幻灭
And still I dream he'll come to me
然而 我仍期盼，情人归来
That we'll live the years together

But there are dreams that cannot be
但是总有美梦无法成真
And there are storms we cannot weather
总有风暴无法掌控
I had a dream my life would be
梦想生活应是尽善尽美
So different from this hell 5 I'm living
回到现实，却如焦土地狱
So different now from what it seemed
