The MV is a story of revenge. The male protagonist's family was killed by a gang when he was a child, and he went into hiding, planning his revenge. As he grew up, he found the mafia godfather who ordered the killing of his parents and joined his family. Eventually, he assassinated the godfather's only son (who killed the protagonist's parents) and gained the godfather's trust, becoming a core member. The godfather's daughter also fell in love with him. In the end, he discarded his gun and went to the church to repent for his use of violence and being deeply entangled in sin.
This song is very difficult because his vocabulary is very abstruse. Each section has different meanings and very obscure lyrics. Plus RAP elements. From the perspective of a Chinese user, his lyrics are already epic and he sings very fast. The rhymes on the obscure lyrics are very, very difficult to sing. Five stars for difficulty.
微涼的晨露 沾濕黑禮服 The cool morning dew moisten the black robes 石板路有霧 父在低訴 There's mist on the flags. God's whispering 無奈的覺悟 只能更殘酷 I know the only choice is to be cruel 一切都為了 通往聖堂的路 All these are for the way to the holy ground 吹不散的霧 隱沒了意圖 The thick fog has concealed my intention 誰輕柔踱步 停住 Who goes on the prowl and stops? 還來不及哭 穿過的子彈 就帶走溫度 By the time the victim cried,the bullet had taken his breath 我們每個人都有罪 犯著不同的罪 Each of us is guilty of the different sins we've committed 我能決定誰對 誰又該要沈睡 I decide on who's right and who shall rest in peace 爭論不能解決 在永無止境的夜 The debate couldn't be ended in the endless night 關掉你的嘴 唯一的恩惠 Shutting mouth of yours was the only grace 擋在前面的人都有罪 後悔也無路可退 Those who get in the way are sinful. There's no leeway for regret 以父之名判決 Judge in the name of God. 那感覺沒有適合字彙 就像邊笑邊掉淚 There's no proper word for the feeling like smiling through my tears 凝視著完全的黑 阻擋悲劇蔓延的悲劇會讓我沈醉 I gaze at the pure darkness. The tragedies for tragedies will intoxicate me 低頭親吻我的左手 換取被寬恕的承諾 Bowed my head to kiss my left hand in exchange for forgiving pledge 老舊管風琴在角落 一直一直一直伴奏 In the corner the old pipe organ kept on accompanying 黑色簾幕被風吹動 陽光無言的穿透 The black curtain were fluttering. The sunshine tranquilly pierced through 灑向那群被我馴服後的 獸 and shed on the beasts that I've tamed 沈默的喊叫 沈默的喊叫 孤單開始發酵 There was silenct scream. There was silent scream. Loneliness fermented 不停對著我嘲笑 回憶逐漸延燒 It kept on deriding me. The fire of recalls spread 曾經純真的畫面 殘忍的溫柔出現 The frames had been innocent, but the cruel meekness emerged 脆弱時間到 我們一起來禱告 Time for frailty. Let's pray to God together 仁慈的父我已墜入 看不見罪的國度 God the father! I've lapsed into Babylon, where sins run wild 請原諒我的自負 Please forgive me for my pride 沒人能說沒人可說 好難承受 Having none to pour out is so unbearable 榮耀的背後刻著一道孤獨 Behind the honor inscribes the loneliness 閉上雙眼我又看見 當年那夢的畫面 Closing my eyes, again I see the frame in dreams of that year 天空是濛濛的霧 The sky was covered with fog 父親牽著我的雙手 My father led me by the hand. 輕輕走過 清晨那安安靜靜的石板路 We walked in light steps on the peaceful and serene flags at dawn 仁慈的父 我已墜入 看不見罪的國度 God the father! I've lapsed into Babylon, where sins run wild 請原諒我 我的自負 刻著一道孤獨 Please forgive me. Forgive my pride. Inscribes the loneliness 斑駁的家徽 擦拭了一夜 I wiped the dapple badge throughout the night. 孤獨的光輝 才懂的感覺 Merely I know the lonesome radiance. 燭光 不 不 停的搖晃 The candlelight kept on swaying. 貓頭鷹在窗櫺上 對著遠方眺望 On the sash the owl overlooks somewhere faraway 通向大廳的長廊 一樣說不出的滄桑 The passage to the hall had suffered many vicissitudes 沒有喧囂 只有寧靜圍繞 Without clamor,only silence surrounds. 我 慢慢睡著 天 剛剛破曉 I drop off slowly. The day was dawning
This song is saying Jay Chou witnessed his father killed by mafia, so you see a kid in the beginning. Then he grew up and joined mafia and revenged for his dad.
