Multaa ja loskaa [English translation]

The funeral mourning army

Escorts my soul to the journey

This coffin is narrow

My shroud is choking me

Dirt is thrown on the top of the coffin

Even though there's crap, there's gold

Apostate, traitor, unruly corpse

So mute when it's time to scream

The one who ends up under the boulder

Belongs only to death

The book of life is dog-eared1

Desire to go through it from cover to cover

We are provoked by a wordless terror

Falling asleep in mid-sentence

The Earth is round

Life isn't the challenge cup of continuum

Or a spiral staircase to nirvana

Like falling over the edge of a pancake2

The one who ends up under the boulder

Belongs only to death

Into earth's bosom - dirt and slush above

We are laid - from here we never rise

Until we - dirt and slush above

Meet again - from here we never rise
