Enigma: Silent Warrior

今回は「沈黙の戦士」(Silent Warrior)をとりあげる.。

音声はここにある。

Long ago, for many years
White men came in the name of GOD
They took their land, they took their lives
A new age has just begun

1.”thier”は先住民たち、”They”は白人たち。

They lost thier GODS, they lost their smile
They cried for help for the last time
Liberty was turning into chains
But all the white men said
That's the cross of changes

2.”That’s the cross of changes”は「変化に伴う受難(痛み)」。

In the name of GOD - The fight for gold
These were the changes
Tell me - is it right - In the name of GOD
These kind of changes?

3.告発。

They tried to fight for liberty
Without a chance in hell, they gave up
White men won in the name of GOD
With the cross as alibi

4.”With the cross as alibi”は「神の名の下に」を示す口実のために十字架を持って。

There's no GOD who ever tried
To change the world in this way
But for the ones who abuse his name
There'll be no chance to escape
On judgement day

5.神の名を汚すものは審判の日には逃れることはできない。

白人の植民地支配を告発した歌詞である。
