Twenty-Six

I paid for your empty empirePagué por tu imperio vacío

I left you a noteTe dejé una nota

The ground was a bed of feathersEl suelo era un lecho de plumas

Right where you all voteJusto donde todos votan

Take all of your vitriolic bad mannered idealsLlévate todas tus ideas vitriólicas y mal educadas

And leave them where i used to runY déjalas donde solía correr

From my house to the fieldsDesde mi casa hasta los campos

And don't paperY no tapes

Don't paper over thisNo tapes esto

ThisEsto

And don't everY nunca

Don't ask me to existNo me pidas existir

In the land that was freeEn la tierra que era libre

You march to a loud beat and it's out of time with meMarchas al ritmo fuerte y está fuera de tiempo conmigo

There's no tears where we've gone but there are some left on my sleeveNo hay lágrimas donde hemos ido pero algunas quedan en mi manga

And don't paperY no tapes
