Tähtilaivan Kapteeni [English translation]

I wake in darkness - I'm tied down

Warm, wet, screaming, thrashing in horror

I soon accommodate to the helplessness, feel myself

Search my memory, it's so desolate and empty

Then a light flickers, and a lid opens over me

I am in a metal coffin and tubes run into me

I can't even remember my name, can't recognize my hands

My naked self in the mirror looks like an alien machine

Through the nightmares I knew I was elsewhere

That a strange mission I was mine to be borne

How a vow binds to deeps and streams

Over the secret, my heart has a seal

A prisoner or a refugee, a slave or a king,

no feeling in my memory, yet the room starts to speak

"Rise, dress, we are soon there"

"Where, who speaks and to whom, I demand you tell!"

"Our travels were long, that you ordered, and of else I do not know, I am merely the Ship's Log

I have watched your sleep for decades and counted your heartbeats"

So, Log, Ship, Space, for some secret outcome, which I eventually would know, yet as of now I know nothing

I rise, dress and touch the door

it opens to a silent corridor

As I am here, it is my lot

But where, that I must know

How a vow binds to deeps and streams

Over the secret, my heart has a seal
