Sydämessäni virtaa joki täynnä mustaa, elotonta vettä joka myrkyttää ajatukseni, tekee maailmasta ruman ja synkän Tuonen musta joki virtaa sydämessäni Tuonen musta vesi hukuttaa toivoni Yritän olla vahva, yritän pitää kaiken sisälläni, mutta kun patoan sen musta joen, se tulvii yli Tuonen musta joki virtaa sydämessäni Tuonen musta vesi hukuttaa toivoni Kun sen musta joen yritän padottaa se tulvii yli, vetää minut epätoivon pohjalle (THE BLACK RIVER TUONI FLOWS IN MY HEART) In my heart flows a river of black, lifeless water that poisons my thoughts, makes the world ugly and dark The black river Tuoni flows in my heart The black water of Tuoni drowns my hope I try to be strong, try to keep everything bottled up, but when I dam that black river, it runs over The black river Tuoni flows in my heart The black water of Tuoni drowns my hope When I try to dam that black river, it floods, pulls me down to the depths of despair

En social paranoia utvecklas när ens förvirring har lett till förnedring en gång för mycket Bränt barn skyr elden Outtalade signaler som jag ej kan förstå Ditt hjärta är en sluten bok för mig, för ditt ansikte säger mig ingenting O' att inte kunna tala utan att såra eller såras Hån, våld och tårar avskräcker likvärdigt Bränt barn skyr elden (ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY lit. Burned child shuns fire) A social paranoia is developed when one's confusion has led to humiliation once too often Once bitten twice shy Unspoken signals that I cannot comprehend Your heart is a closed book to me, because your face tells me nothing Oh, not being able to speak without hurting or being hurt Mockery, violence and tears deter equally Once bitten twice shy

En blandning av äckel och medömkan Den blicken har jag lärt mig känna igen Kanske erkänner du min rätt att existera Men du vill inte ha mig nånstans i närheten I livets avträde Är jag mänskligt avskräde Avskum i dina ögon Jag är en råtta, en untermensch Du skyr mig som pesten, om du mig ens minns Oönskad, ratad, knappt ens värd att bli hatad Spotta på mig, och glöm bort att jag finns I livets avträde Är jag mänskligt avskräde Avskum i dina ögon (HUMAN WASTE) A mixture of disgust and pity I have learned to know that look Maybe you recognise my right to be But you don't want me anywhere near you In the latrine of life I am human waste Scum in your eyes I am a rat, an untermensch You avoid me like the plague, if you even notice me Unwanted, rejected, barely even worth hating Spit upon me, and forget I exist In the latrine of life I am human waste Scum in your eyes

(lead: Sometimes Dead is Better) The dead have gone beyond the reach of pain It's the living who suffer torment and tribulation Why do we weep over slabs of meat? The fairytales that they keep telling us have got it all wrong It's not when we die that we are sent to hell, that's when we are set free The dead are immune to war, famine and pestilence Neither do they feel the sting of fear, longing or sorrow We cry only for ourselves! The fairytales that they keep telling us have got it all wrong It's not when we die that we are sent to hell, that's when we are set free Why do we weep over slabs of meat? We cry only for ourselves!

How many lies until the truth loses all meaning? How many betrayals until I bite the hand that feeds me? How am I supposed to trust you, when a knife in the back is all I've known? No good deed goes fucking unpunished My heart hardens, blackens, just to survive In a world of human beasts, why should I be the one with a conscience? Giving in to the inky blackness Safe from harm, safe from hope Wearing my armour of hatred Coated in frost and venom Radiating hatred in stinking tendrils Ask not of my heart, for it is a rotten lump of tar
