Dystopi [English translation]

What is eternal growth if not a fantasy?

A pyramidic version of the global economy

Built on empty promises without gold standards

Promising luxury and welfare to every mind that meanders

At first, it all falls apart like inflation

Wild panic, dreadful screams and jet-black depression

Then comes the hunger, blood curdling and raw

After the hunger comes a relentless abolition of law

Unarmed, lost and scared

You make your own deathbed

Murderous militias who roam from place to place

They'll take your life for nothing, so learn how to quicken your pace

The government's responsibility is only there in case

Its members need to hurriedly disappear without a trace

Being on your own is an idea that's never been brought to light

So build yourself a fortress and teach your family how to fight

The big city life becomes the Kafkaesque life

You can't eat concrete, so avoid the cannibal's knife

Farewell, Civilization

See a new kind of nation

From three days of sleeplessness

Emerges a new reality's genesis

Darkness over Scandinavia - Now it's all coming to an end [x2]

Darkness over Scandinavia - Now it's all coming to an end [x2]

There's no way out, there's no visible light

See the ice-cold sky surrounding burnt-out houses on a dark night

See now Scandinavia

Without the electricity in your apartment, the northern winter rages

The IKEA tables burn fast when you can't burn firewood or pages

The wastewater is flooding, the illness is laying dormant

And the Swede has become antibiotically resistant

A high price to pay for a shimmering façade

For participation in a clumsy, redundant and demented march

Witness reality or go down with the ship

Like eyeless rats in sewers filled with shit

Nothing in our glass, nothing on our plate

We're in a worse-than-desperate state

Long marches, bad weather

We're wearing fashionably freezing leather

Darkness over Scandinavia - Now it's all coming to an end [x2]

Darkness over Scandinavia - Now it's all coming to an end [x2]

There's no way out, there's no visible light

See the ice-cold sky surrounding burnt-out houses on a dark night

See now Scandinavia

Now fetch your expensive porcelain

And make a toast with glasses full of piss-warm urine

Nothing in our glass, nothing on our plate

We're in a worse-than-desperate state

Darkness over Scandinavia - Now it's all coming to an end [x2]

Darkness over Scandinavia - Now it's all coming to an end [x2]

There's no way out, there's no visible light

See the ice-cold sky surrounding burnt-out houses on a dark night

See now Scandinavia

Thirst and sleeplessness

Insects, fences

A new reality
