But they killed him in his kindness,

然而仁慈招致了他的死亡
In their madness and their blindness,

无知无情的凶手
And they killed him from behind.

从背后向他射出子弹
There is sobbing of the strong, And a pall upon the land;

哭泣的强者高举的灵柩
But the People in their weeping Bare an iron hand;

眼泪无法掩盖他们手中强大的武器
Beware the People weeping When they bare the iron hand.

哭泣的战士是最值得敬畏的
He lieth in his blood--the father in his face;

他躺倒在血泊中
They have killed him, the Forgiver

伟大的饶恕者已安歇
The Avenger now takes his place,

复仇者登上了舞台
The Avenger wisely stern,

机智坚定
Who in righteousness shall do What the heavens call him to,

在上天的指引下他们惩恶扬善
And the parricides remand;

弑父者将被审判
