Wake up, my love - wake up.
You have not seen the darkness yet.
The soil in which blood flows
and the lake in which hatred harbours.
Look out! Do not be fooled.
When the river rises and the sky darkens -
do not turn away but stay;
For you cannot run, you cannot hide.
Head on you shall face.
Do not fear, your fears will come to life
Kill you slowly from inside.
Alas, there is no antidote.
Even if we all suffer - we are not sure yet if we will
- let us suffer together.
Burn, oh yes we will
And poison our souls.
