Kain [English translation]

Northern wind blows, strips the mind of its clothes

from misery's shards the mirror forms

there it shivers, thine mute self

that witness true,

all that is, futile he broods

And whatever you did, the wind cuts you

forms of Men spit frozen fire at you

With open arms you want, wish for the best

And when that dawn comes

You arrive at the gate of abyss

:refrain:

No flow now, everything freezes

The waters mirror only darkness

One walking on the edges alone and cold

Alone he walks, alone he remains

Yet what is will, what are wishes?

A secret,a magic, that makes you move?

Who do you hear, if any child of this world?

Thine justice is cruel,

Cold eyes cut our flight far short.

refrain (2x)

Thou art our refuge, us tormented souls

Tormented by our witnessing

Thou art our refuge, in thine name always

We swear, us defenders of cruelty.
