Текст песни: Death of an Old Year + перевод

It’s the depth of the winter and out of the darkness

The neon tube flashes, a sliver to splinter

An eye that is streaming that snow has blown into

And melted, slowly melted clear away.

It’s the last of December, a night of no reason,

For friends who look forward and friends who remember.

The fire once that flared is now but an ember

The snow falls — oh, the snow falls down upon.

And some of us wander the valley of shadows

In fervour and faith and with rifles to hand;

And as yesterday’s hero lies deep in the sand

Of the old year, so I peer from the train…

It’s the death of an old year as I leave the station

To face the arena, to stand on my own here

Erupting in fire. And over the wire

I’m flying — as I’m dying, like my bullets in the snow.
