Atrocity Exhibition

Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist,
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'
 
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside...
 
In arenas he kills for a prize,
Wins a minute to add to his life.
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more,
Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall.
 
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside...
 
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside...
 
You'll see the horrors of a faraway place,
Meet the architects of law face to face.
See mass murder on a scale you've never seen,
And all the ones who try hard to succeed.
 
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside...
 
And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more,
Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years,
All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire,
Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair,
Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be.
 
Translation

Exibición de atrocidades

Asilos con las puertas abiertas,
Donde la gente pagó para ver adentro,
Por entretenimiento ven su cuerpo retorcerse,
Tras sus ojos dice, 'sigo existiendo'.
 
Es por aquí, pasen.
Es por aquí, pasen...
 
En la arena él mata por un premio,
Gana un minuto para añadir a su vida.
Pero la nausea se ahoga con los gritos pidiendo más,
Piden a Dios, que sea rápido para verlo caer.
 
Es por aquí, pasen.
Es por aquí, pasen...
 
Es por aquí, pasen.
Es por aquí, pasen...
 
Verán los horrores de un lugar lejano,
Conozcan a los arquitectos de la ley cara a cara.
Vean asesinatos masivos en una escala que nunca han visto,
Y a todos los que luchan duro por triunfar.
 
Es por aquí, pasen.
Es por aquí, pasen...
 
Y me meto con los caprichos de miles o más,
Sigo buscando el camino enterrado durante años,
Toda la madera muerta de las selvas y las ciudades ardiendo,
No pueden reemplazar ni relatar, no pueden liberar ni reparar,
Toma mi mano y te mostraré lo que fue y será.
