英文摇滚歌曲：As I Lay Dying - Anger And Apathy

I've tried to find reconciliation¹ behind the walls of those whose hatred² burns.
For I find it easier to reach someone who still feels,
Than to make amends³ with passionless apathy⁴.
Where all lines are the same a portrait cannot be made.

I need to burn inside. I need to know that you are alive.

I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference⁵ for those too weak to stand.

Like a colorless sky over a sea of nothingness,
Hatred faces its enemies while apathy strikes furtively⁶.

I need to burn inside. I need to know that you are alive.

I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand.
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand...

Until our anger burns against injustice⁷, we will create
The faceless by dismissing those forced to concede.

Many of us have turned off the light outside, erasing⁸ what exists beyond our front door.
And for you I find it harder to reach common ground than my most glaring opposition⁹.
But what about those who've lost the luxury of choice?
...striving for identity, buried by our lack of interest, souls marked as mere¹⁰ history.
How much grievance¹¹ will it take to awaken¹² us?

I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand.
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
Than indifference for those too weak to stand...

How much grievance will it take to awaken us from the comfort of our homes?
...the comfort of our oversized graves.

I've tried to find reconciliation... I've tried to find reconciliation...
