Asteroid and Extinction

(Lyrics and Chinese translation:) All space vessels in a condition to fly, would leave Earth, carrying on board as many specialists and experts as possible - doctors, technicians etc. - of the kind most likely to be of service to the community following the catastrophe.’ 所有能够飞行的太空船都要离开地球，带上尽可能多的专家和特殊人才：医生、技术人员等等——就是说那些在灾后对民众最可能有帮助的人” Unpredicted acceleration of the asteroid, it appeared in the sky at 11 am, shining like an orange sun. The order for take-off was given immediately and all the spacecraft took to the sky. 小行星突然出人意料地加速了——它在中午11点就出现在天空中，明亮得像个橙色的太阳。起飞的指令被立刻发出，所有的飞船都飞向了天空。 Look, the sun climbs and descends in the sky. 看啊，太阳升上去又掉了下来！ It shakes between clouds and turn into red. 它在云间抖动又变得深红 Suddenly it falls down like a huge broken balloon. 突然间像破损的气球一般坠落下去 The sun is killed, the light is dimmed. 太阳已死，光芒黯淡 Planetary debris pierces deep into the Crust. 行星碎片深深刺入了地壳 Therefore The Earth's axis deviates in one go 地轴因此猛地偏转了过来 Cities on the surface are being eaten by fissures. 地表的城市被地裂吞噬 Only life in the air can identify these scenes. 只有空中的人们能够辨认这场面 Scream and silence. 惊叫和沉默的人们 They got last breath and they sigh to their fates. 他们死期将至，向命而叹 Technology and History 科技和历史的光辉 In an twink of eyes, they are swept away. 转瞬间被扫干除净 No time to ask why. 来不及知晓缘由 The civilization and things are gone. 文明和它的造物已然消逝 Why are we? 为什么会是我们？ Close your eyes my brothers I promise we'll meet next time. 安息吧兄弟们，你们定会来世再相认 Shockwaves spread from the ground to the sky. 巨浪滔天，响声撼地 They swallow all the proofs of urban existence. 淹没了城市存在的证明 Noises of collasping are spread far away. 远处的坍塌声响彻四方 The pressure and heat cook everything in the flame. 高温高压的火焰烹煮一切 Thousands of volcanoes erupt black sand. 成千的火山喷出黑色的碎砂 The terrible power squeezes the tiny humankind. 可怖的力量将人们挤压 The seawater is boiling and huge clouds are formed. 海水沸腾了，升起巨大的乌云 suffocating flood explodes like iron wall. 壮观的洪水如同钢壁下坠 Seal off the bright light from the atomsphere. 火山灰隔绝了对流层外的光亮 Destroy the airships in the stratosphere. 震动摧毁了平流层仅剩的飞船 The story of extinction is coming to an end. 灭绝的故事即将进入尾声 But the disaster will still affect for centuries. 灾难的影响则将持续数个世纪 No one is alive then... 没有人再活着了 Before they pray, they die. 在他们祈祷之前已然故去 Gods watch it peacefully... 引导者们平静地看着 Before they save their sons. 因为他们不能拯救那些同类 The sun became a dull red and slid towards the horizon like a falling balloon. Soon, it stopped and climbed slowly,but when only to half the distance, it ‘fell’. The Earth had suddenly changed the inclination of its axis! Explosions of incredible force occurred, for two larger pieces of asteroid had pierced the Earth’s crust. 太阳变成了暗红色并像个坠落的气球一样滑向地平线。不久，它停了下来并开始缓慢地爬升，但刚爬到一半就又‘掉’了下去。地轴一下就偏转了！最大的那两块小行星碎片穿过了地壳。 There was a deluge such as the planet had not known for eons. In fact, the volcanoes spat so many ashes into the sky, and to such incredible altitudes, that the sky darkened. The vapour from the oceans, which in places actually boiled over an area of thousands of square kilometres, The thick clouds thus created, burst with rain so torrential you’d find it hard to imagine...’ 最恐怖的时候，洪水泛滥，整个星球就像从未有过人类似的。当时，由于火山同时向天空喷射了那么多的火山灰——它们达到了难以置信的高度，整个天空都变黑了。一些海域中成千上万平方公里的海水都在沸腾，形成了厚重的乌云，由此爆发出的降水太过猛烈，你会发现那场面很难想象……”
