Ei haihdu tuska milloinkaan
Tuo tuska laulun tämän kirjoittaa
Tuo tuska kiinni saa kenet vaan
Tuo tuska kiinni saa kenet vain haluaa- Yet another moment closer to death
The anguish will never go away
That anguish is writing this song
That anguish can catch anyone
That anguish can catch whoever it wants to
- Yet another moment closer to death
