Život je prevara [English translation]

Ch.

Life is a deception, somber and gray

So I'll represent the underworld as long as I'm alive

Frauds, lies, all around us

Deep in the underworld is the only salvation

Listen to this, let me tell you first

I got this far 'cause I was never cautious

Drank sweat, ate pain, spat blood

Everything is rotten, cursed

Touched by the greedy human hand

Because in the race with existence

People aren't concerned about their lives as an essence

That's why I denied that, I crushed the resistance

Although I fought on my own

I learned to take the blows

So I could teach myself the skill of self defense

'Cause when I was young they'd send me to the first line of fire

But now they want to understand me-well, that can't be, brother

I wear scars like references

To the memories that never fade and my mates from battles

With them-Blah doesn't belong among you

I'm only free in the underworld

With the temptations thrown at me

I hone the jewel of my faith

Maybe I'm deceived

Maybe a slave to my dreams, but at least I freely

Keep walking and I'm at peace

I never turn away from suffering and pain

Life is a deception, I know, cruel fight

Do you know what deception is, do you know what it's like to fall

Then you get up, go, stop again

When you have to fight, to pull, to shake

When you realize you're alone and only have yourself

Do you know the taste of bitterness in your mouth

And the unreal fury that stings in your chest

And all that because you trusted people

Do you know what it's like when it's dark outside

And you know you've fucked up- you wanna go back, but it's to late

When you're led astray, but there's no signs

You're in knee-deep mud and the leeches are biting

And you're aware that you are trying and you're using your elbows

But as the time passes you fall into the abyss, you lose yourself

So with trusted people, put the ideals aside

Not every fairytale has a happy ending-remember

Life is a deception, somber and gray

So I'll represent the underworld as long as I'm alive

Frauds, lies, all around us

Deep in the underworld is the only salvation (x2)

Life is a fraud, an obstacle course for traitors

So guard what you have, especially buddies

'cause texts are mild if the relationships aren't strong

And all kinds of frauds stick their arms in wherever they can

I didn't believe my elders when they told me about those

But later, as the years passed, I got all the catches

Now I hold on to my flock, only trustworthy friends

Together we rule, unanimously like brothers

We move in the underworld 'cause people in the open don't survive

Where only spiritual mutants function in the program

Life is a fraud-blinks its eyes then it lures you

But this black butterfly won't let you catch it

I'd rather choose a bullet than a shameful ending

Even if they nail me to a wheel I won't reveal my knowledge

I'll never look at the ground, give up

Faithful to the underworld like Cerberus and ready for every bone

To die if needed, 'cause what's a man without actions

This life is a deception, but I fight in its name

All the way until the final return to the surface

And a possible survival despite hard conditions

This life is a big deception (x2)

Life has its moments, attractive and irresistible

But those other, not-so-pleasant moments

Tough nights, somber, gray days, tired

When the troubles embrace you and they grasp you so you suffocate

When you're surrounded with people, but so lonely at the same time

And you don't know where the secret to your destiny hides

You know tomorrow is the only thing that surely awaits you

But for a suffering soul, the dawn is so far away

You stop and look at people's smiles

And with the thought that they're fake something stings in your chest

You tell yourself the truth is the only thing that matters

And that everything that shines except the Sun fades in the end

And it hits you that you've chosen to lurk around this world

That you choose to wander and not to know your place

That it often hurts, that it hurts almost always

That you're always lonely and made from sadness

But just look at how you're as pure as a tear

As honest as a tear-unlike other people

Who only care about the passing, and to you so transparent

To the unique you, to an ordinary human

Ch.

Life is a deception, somber and gray

So I'll represent the underworld as long as I'm alive

Frauds, lies, all around us

Deep in the underworld is the only salvation (x2)

This life is a big deception (x4)

Life is a deception, somber and gray

So I'll represent the underworld as long as I'm alive

Frauds, lies, all around us

Deep in the underworld is the only salvation (x2)
