Dom tomma stegen [English translation]

A shadow runs along the walls tonight

It's cold and silent

You've seen it in the corner of your eye before

as you walked those empty steps

You've seen it pass

and make the night so peculiar

You know that reality

isn't always that real

I saw a man laying on a bench and die one night

there wasn't much to do

His friend said: Jesus will take care of you now

but he could neither see nor hear

The moon shone in the fjorde

The purest water of the Nordic countries

A blanket was laid over the body

then we slowly went homewards in the night

Have you walked those empty steps

along the channels of anxiety

Have you thrown a few rocks out into the abyss

and seen them tumbling down in spirals

It's locked by the gate

to the desolate shore

There's a guard by the gate

he's out for blood

I know someone who's seen more than most

someone who's never seen what he's got here

He says he's been in Hell and turned

I think a part of him was left there

now he's outside of this world

Seen through and bitter

he walks those empty steps

beneath the birds' cheerful twittering

They found a body down by the water today

it must have laid there all night

A bullet hole right through the chest

the lungs filled with water

Did someone silence the roar

Was it worth the trouble

you feel the guilt and shame

even though you never held the rifle

I believe in the pigeon who knows where it's going

I believe in goodness and improvement

I am a boat of bark

Which drifts between branches and rocks

and a moth is my crew

No guards by the gate

No locks on the gate

Only the voice calling

in the eternally whispering wind
