Lokin päällä lokki [English translation]

The hours before light

Before the reflections and the gleaming fire

When the silence is a well to disappear in

That confines the words within its depths

I write messages on mirrors

From where they're reflected back at me

I lie the answers into beautiful ones

While waiting for the light

Too much time to come up with all too many ideas

While searching for yourself within your thoughts

The moments of those expeditions are dangerous

Whether you want it or not, you'll do it again

(and every time)

The madness arrived uninvited into my chambers, raining down upon me

That is professed by those selling salvation

All you need to give up is only your entire life

To have it driven out

Iron without borders

Without a single reason or heartlights

When the silence is a castle, the one sole home

It breathes the weight of time together with me

Before, I understood the wisdoms

I had a grasp on it all but forgot

I got the answers for the inkblot tests wrong

And waited for magic to happen

Never have I come across

Anything as shitty as all this that I keep doing

System shock, seagull upon a seagull

Pecked off every last shred of each other

(and every time)

The madness arrived uninvited into my chambers, raining down upon me

That is professed by those selling salvation

All you need to give up is only your entire life

To have it driven out

Out, away

It takes something with it

Out, away

How can something be so tiny

And still overpower everything else

Seagull, seagull upon a seagull, seagull's seagull's seagull, multifaceted

Seagull, seagull upon a seagull, seagull's seagull's seagull, looking like me

(and every time)

The madness arrived uninvited into my chambers, raining down upon me

That is professed by those selling salvation

All you need to give up is only your entire life

To have it driven out
