Käärmeen pää [English translation]

The whip of life flogs

A woeful man wet from sweat

I walk a way that isn't returned from

The world, Satan won't give peace

Bells of death peal in my ears

That call me

The ground is hard as steel

Heaven's flesh on my shoulders weighs my body

I starve to these agonies, to an eternal cry

This body freezes upright

Death closes my eyes, walks before me

Mocking, laughing, ridiculing me

Today is dark

Tomorrow is darker

Today is dark

Tomorrow is darker

(x2):

Sweat blood, cuss

Crush the snake's head

Don't you have the man in you

To beat the evil from you?

The snake coiled around my heart

I can't get out of its hold

Still I want the last word

So it's better to sit down

Cry alone weed the evil

From the head and kill its sound snake

Today is dark

Tomorrow is darker

Today is dark

Tomorrow is darker

(x4):

Sweat blood, cuss

Crush the snake's head

Don't you have the man in you

To beat the evil from you?
