Svart Snö [English translation]

When it feels like you have waited since you were a child

For something to happen, for a close encounter of some kind

When it feels as if you have done everything, said everything, but received no answer

When it feels as if your best is not good enough

When the dams split and you are holding back a storm flood

When reality shakes and there flows black snow in your blood

They say: Everything will get better because time heals all wounds

It is political propaganda from the Iron Curtain

If you feel like me, put up your hands

There are more than you and me

Who have lost something we love in the fire

More than you and me

Who dance for ourselves in the darkness

Like there will be no tomorrow

I don't want to be alone

But who wants to be alone

And this is no nightmare, this is no phase

This is something that happens every day

It feels as if we have woken suddenly in some kind of dusk land

We are the living dead, stumbling forward hand in hand

And all here want to lead

But we follow blindly anyway

In the light from small screens the fear creeps slowly in

Across streets and squares when the shops have closed

Up over walls, through windows and down into our bed

If you feel like me, put up your hands

There are more than you and me

Who have lost something we love in the fire

More than you and me

Who dance for ourselves in the darkness

Like there will be no tomorrow

They say love is a drug, I take whatever shit I can

But if love is a drug, it is no drug for me

You know how I feel, yes, of course I feel like you

I love your money, your money loves me

I love your money, who doesn't want to be rich

I want to travel, see the world, who wants an ordinary life

But I love only money because money makes me free

Take me to the chorus now

Oh do you recognise yourself?

There are more than you and me

Who have lost someone we love in the fire

More than you and me

Who dance for ourselves in the darkness

Like there will be no tomorrow

I don't want to be alone

But who wants to be alone
