Isis & Bast [English translation]

I met a man who said that the game was over

He cried like a child or was it the whisper of the wind

That blew something into the corner of his eye

I met two sisters, they were Isis and Bast

They stood up for the truth but lied about their names

I know because I stole their passports

I left my hometown as a caught thief

They called me crazy, baby, but revenge is sweet

You have to be healthy to become sick

My life is a sea war, they shut their eyes and pray

I don't want to suffer for something of which you do not know

Nelson goes under with flags flying above

Aye, Aye, Captain

You choose for yourself how far you will go

How can it be so difficult

Let me help you understand:

You have your pride

Set hard against hard

Never say yes when you mean no

I betrayed my class in a voting booth

I tore down the pyramids in the valley of the kings

Where socialism is buried

I mourn two sisters named Isis and Bast

I love them even now but I must take responsibility

They kicked me off, gave me the finger, and said:

Here is your last stop

You choose for yourself how far you will go

How can it be so difficult

Let me help you understand:

You have your pride

Set hard against hard

Never say yes when you mean no

Never say yes

A no is a no

I always said yes

See what it made of me
