Night Letters
Your world was blown right apart on a night of sickening death.
You went running for your life and never went home again.
I spend sleepless nights as my head swims worrying about you.
You work the night shift so you won't be alone.
I am adept at cold. You have travelled so far from home.
Sorrow has followed every step of the way.
You're caught between this life and the one left behind.
I see it's burning you inside like some exploding sun.
Your mind constantly returns to a place that's not so fucking cold,
but on fire with war. You're starting over from scratch, sending your money home.
You're working as hard as you can while life hangs in the air.
I see distant lights up ahead but I'm worrying about you.
It's all taking its toll and you can't concentrate.
You are being crushed by the world. I have gotten lucky so far.
We sit at the end of this night dialing.
An answer finally reached through a long distance line.
News of threatening night letters. Stones tossed over the fence.
Your loved ones taunted by murderers.
Tell them it's three years that they'll have to wait as their whole world implodes
Letras nocturnas
Tu mundo se desmoronó en una noche de muerte repugnante
Fuiste corriendo por tu vida y nunca volviste a casa
Paso noches sin dormir mientras mi cabeza nada preocupándome por ti
Trabajas el turno de noche para no estar solo
Soy experto en frío. Has viajado tan lejos de casa
La tristeza ha seguido cada paso del camino
Estás atrapado entre esta vida y la que queda atrás
Veo que te quema por dentro como un sol explosivo
Tu mente vuelve constantemente a un lugar que no hace tanto frío
pero ardiendo con la guerra. Estás empezando de cero, enviando tu dinero a casa
Trabajas tan duro como puedes mientras la vida pende en el aire
Veo luces lejanas por delante pero me preocupe por ti
Todo está cogiendo factura y no puedes concentrarte
El mundo te está aplastando. He tenido suerte hasta ahora
Nos sentamos al final de esta noche marcando
Finalmente se ha alcanzado una respuesta a través de una línea de larga distancia
Noticias de cartas nocturnas amenazantes. Piedras arrojadas sobre la valla
Tus seres queridos se burlaban de los asesinos
Diles que hace tres años que tendrán que esperar mientras todo su mundo implosiona
