Uusi ihmiskunta [English translation]

As I suddenly awake, it's morning

although nothing is as it was

Hours follow each other

Faces seem altered

Strange that even indoors I am weathered

I brought soul in when you left

Not much to be told there

Flags hang sodden

I'm always wrong

Surprisingly long is this street

[refrain]

It wasn't paradise that came as we were told

It wasn't heaven there even as I then thought

(2x)

Statues awaken in the garden of life

Wander in their morning with leaden feet

Trailing withered flowers,

Voices from the depths

Carvings from their stands fly away

[refrain]

It wasn't paradise that came as we were told

It wasn't heaven there even as I then thought

(2x)

Yet to their shining wings great ships will take,

carrying us from this vale of tears to stars further away!

Far away!

[refrain]

It wasn't paradise that came as we were told

It wasn't heaven there even as I then thought

(2x)
