The Night Is Bleeding

Everybody envied me as ITodos me envidiaban mientras

Walked down the aisleCaminaba por el pasillo

Picture perfect wedded blissUna felicidad matrimonial perfecta

A pair of matching smilesUn par de sonrisas coincidentes

I never knew what kind of man he wasNunca supe qué tipo de hombre era

It took me by surpriseMe tomó por sorpresa

The day he grabbed me by the hairEl día que me agarró del cabello

And glared at me with reaper's eyesY me miró con ojos de segador

Now the night is bleedingAhora la noche está sangrando

The law protects a man who beats his wifeLa ley protege a un hombre que golpea a su esposa

The night is bleedingLa noche está sangrando

The law ignores a woman pleading for her lifeLa ley ignora a una mujer suplicando por su vida

Your paper handcuffs couldn't stop himTus esposas de papel no pudieron detenerlo

They never even slowed him downNi siquiera lo frenaron

I had to worry he'd be standing thereTenía que preocuparme de que estuviera allí parado

Every time I turned aroundCada vez que me daba la vuelta

You believed him when he said I deserved itLe creíste cuando dijo que lo merecía

You believed him when he spun his liesLe creíste cuando tejió sus mentiras

You even nodded when he said he was so sorryIncluso asentiste cuando dijo que lo sentía mucho

Your callus ears ignored my criesTus oídos insensibles ignoraron mis llantos

Now the night is bleedingAhora la noche está sangrando

The law protects a man who beats his wifeLa ley protege a un hombre que golpea a su esposa

The night is bleedingLa noche está sangrando

The law ignores a woman pleading for her lifeLa ley ignora a una mujer suplicando por su vida

Treat the symptom, ignore the diseaseTratan el síntoma, ignoran la enfermedad

There's no such thing as an idle threatNo hay tal cosa como una amenaza vacía

We all know, we all knowTodos sabemos, todos sabemos

Where it leadsA dónde lleva

Where were you when he said he was coming¿Dónde estabas cuando dijo que vendría?

Where were you when I said I was scared¿Dónde estabas cuando dije que tenía miedo?

Where were you when he kicked down the door¿Dónde estabas cuando derribó la puerta?

And where were you when he threw me down the stairsY ¿dónde estabas cuando me arrojó por las escaleras?

Where were you¿Dónde estabas?

Where were you¿Dónde estabas?

The night is bleedingLa noche está sangrando

You say you're here to serve and protectDices que estás aquí para servir y proteger

But you ignore and reject my cries for helpPero ignoras y rechazas mis gritos de ayuda

The night is bleedingLa noche está sangrando

The night is bleedingLa noche está sangrando
