The engines drum[00:05:46]
发动机砰砰作响[00:05:49]
The telegraph sounds[00:05:49]
电报声响起了[00:05:52]
Release the cords[00:05:52]

地面人员惊呼雀跃[00:06:15]
As she backed off from the mast[00:06:15]
当她从桅杆上转身飞起时[00:06:18]
Baptizing them her water[00:06:18]
从船头到船尾的人们[00:06:21]
From the ballast fore and aft[00:06:21]
都被她洗礼[00:06:24]
Now she slips into our past[00:06:24]
Fighting the wind as it rolls you[00:12:32]
Feeling the diesels that push you along[00:12:35]
Watching the channel below you[00:12:38]
Lower and lower into the night[00:12:41]
Lights are passing below you[00:12:44]
Northern France asleep in their beds[00:12:47]
Storm is raging around you[00:12:50]
A million to one that's what he said[00:12:53]
Reaper standing beside her[00:13:39]
With his scythe cuts to the bone[00:13:41]
Panic to make a decision[00:13:45]
Experienced men asleep in their graves[00:13:48]
Her cover is ripped and she's drowning[00:13:51]
Rain is flooding into the hull[00:13:54]
Bleeding to death and she's falling[00:13:57]
Lifting gas is draining away[00:14:00]
We're down lads came the cry[00:15:11]
Bow plunging from the sky[00:15:14]
Three thousand horses silent[00:15:18]
As the ship began to die[00:15:20]
The flares to guide her path[00:15:24]
Ignited at the last[00:15:27]
The empire of the clouds[00:15:31]
Just ashes in our past[00:15:34]
Just ashes at the last[00:15:37]
Here lie their dreams[00:16:05]
As I stand in the sun[00:16:07]
On the ground where they built[00:16:10]
And the engines did run[00:16:13]
To the moon and the stars[00:16:17]
Now what have we done[00:16:20]
Oh the dreamers may die[00:16:23]
But the dreams live on[00:16:26]
Dreams live on[00:16:35]
Dreams live on[00:16:41]
Now a shadow on a hill[00:17:15]
The angel of the east[00:17:18]
The empire of the clouds[00:17:22]
May rest in peace[00:17:24]
And in a country churchyard[00:17:28]
Laid head to the mast[00:17:32]
Eight and forty souls[00:17:36]
Who came to die in France[00:17:38]
在法国遇难[00:17:43]
