Valley of the Dead

The ghosts of the palliative care ward
姑息疗法病房的鬼魂
Have been following me
一直在跟随我
Whispering through the clear plastic lining
絮絮地穿过透明塑料里衬
Over their dead bodies
越过它们死去的身体
Their diapers and their feces still on the hospital sheets
它们的尿布与排遗物还黏着医院的床单
They’re dead but they’re still up walking around
它们已死了，却仍然四处游走
And they say to me, “Death is pretty sweet”
它们对我说：“死亡非常甜蜜”
We’re in the valley of the dead, cremated bodies in the air
我们正处于死者的山谷里，空气中是火化的遗灰
And the rotten ones underneath
已腐烂的那些在下
Where we harvest the food we eat
在我们收获我们吃食的地方
I’m not scared of death because death’s all over me
我对死并无恐惧 因为死早已遍布我
I’ve been spending my time hanging out in hospital wards
我早已费尽时间 用来在病房里闲逛
Bringing flowers and love letters to my quadriplegic baby
给我四肢瘫痪的宝贝带花朵与情书
The ache of his colostomy bag and his blood transfusions
他粪便口袋与输血疗法的痛楚，
His medication makes him so sleepy
他的药剂 让他如此昏沉
But he still whispers to me, “Death is pretty sweet”
但是他仍然对我絮絮：“死亡非常甜蜜”
We’re in the valley of the dead,
我们正处于死者的山谷里
Bodies turn to liquid in the heat
高热下尸骸化作了液体
The particles crawl into our pores
碎屑爬入我们的毛孔
And they soak into our wooden floors
渗入我们木质的地板
I’m not scared of death because death’s all over me
我对死并无恐惧 因为死早已遍布我
I’m not scared of death because death’s all over me
我对死并无恐惧 因为死早已遍布我
