lyrics

Jag vrider mina händer i blod
Jag höjer blicken ovan molnen
En himmel gjord av brustna glas
En brottsling oförlåten

Min tid är glömd, min levnad bruten
Små röda flagor yr i natten
Jag lever på en värld av rök
Mitt huvud under vatten

Ack, världen är ett mörker stort
Och ensamheten tung att bära
Jag sörjer ej mitt unga liv
Ej heller världslig ära

Jag lämnar denna karga tid
Jag skänker vinden min förtvivlan
Strö maskar över min bleka hud
Och lägg mig ner att vila



English (approximate) translation:

I wring my hands in blood
I raise my eyes above the clouds
A sky made of broken glass
An unforgiven criminal

My time is forgotten, my living broken
The night full of whirling embers
I live upon a world of smoke
My head under water

Oh, the world is a great darkness
And loneliness is hard to bear
I do not mourn my young life
Nor worldly honor

I leave these cruel times
I give my despair to the winds
Let the worms fall upon my pale skin
And put me down to rest
