征服我的痛苦 [00:42.44]been my only aim.
只是我唯一的目的 [00:44.74]Happiness or joy merely
快乐或是愉悦对我来说 [00:47.99]unwords without meaning,
几乎只是没有意义的词语 [00:50.45]they were unwanted
我从不渴望它们 [00:51.90]anyway as surely out of place.
总之它们与我并不相称 [00:56.60]All I wanted was the
我所渴望的 [00:59.31]voices to be silent
只是噪杂能够化为岑寂 [01:01.78]a brief moment in the

在这黑暗之中 [02:06.96]no choice than do discover
你不可抑制地意识到 [02:09.31]the uselessness of eyes,
双眼毫无用处 [02:11.71]giving birth from their own despair.
视觉在它们的绝望中诞生 [02:15.16]Here eyes can nothing but
眼睛除了日渐腐朽 [02:17.47]decay and if I fail and do
别无他用，如果我最终失败 [02:20.57]identify myself with them
并且用双眼观测自己 [02:23.48]then their destiny I'll share...
