Kyyn pimeä puoli [English translation]

The one who told the best joke got to be the king of fools

Was dressed in gold, purple and introduced to everyone

After the nightfall, dusk, it didn't amuse anymore

So with his skins and bones he was mussed back into the ground

The poor one (2x)

Because in the city of merchants Mercury is the god

with shifting moods trades the souls for the current price

and the others eat their parents, the others their children

with the advices of a haruspex they are accusing each other

And we are always here

under the same eternal sky

Looking at our dead image

from the eternally pale eye of the moon

refrain:

Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first (3x)

Braids out of snakes, hands out of bronze, the eyes so full of fear, wickedness

that everyone who meets that gaze will soon turn into their own image

In time immemorial an advice was given: if the wise can't manage,

can't keep the stupid, the greedy in check, then he should go

And we are always here

under the same eternal sky

Looking at our dead image

from the eternally pale eye of the moon

refrain (3x)
