Lyrics[]
Svallið var hömlulaust
Þynnkan er endalaus
Lífið er tilgangslaust
Tómið heimtir alla
Hatrið mun sigra
Gleðin tekur enda
Enda er hún blekking
Svikul tálsýn
Allt sem ég sá
Runnu niður tár
Allt sem ég gaf
Eitt sinn gaf
Ég gaf þér allt
Alhliða blekkingar
Einhliða refsingar
Auðtrúa aumingjar
Flóttinn tekur enda
Tómið heimtir alla
Hatrið mun sigra
Evrópa hrynja
Vefur lyga
Rísið úr öskunni
Sameinuð sem eitt
Allt sem ég sá.
Runnu niður tár.
Allt sem ég gaf.
Eitt sinn gaf.
Ég gaf þér allt.
Allt sem ég sá
Runnu niður tár
Allt sem ég gaf
Eitt sinn gaf
Ég gaf þér allt
Hatrið mun sigra
Ástin deyja
Hatrið mun sigra
Gleðin tekur enda
Enda er hún blekking
Svikul tálsýn
Hatrið mun sigra
The revelry was unrestrained
The hangover is endless
Life is meaningless
The emptiness will get us all
Hate will prevail
Happiness will end
For it is an illusion
A treacherous pipe dream
All that I saw
Tears ran down
All that I gave
Once gave
I gave it all to you
Multilateral delusions
Unilateral punishments
Gullible poor fellows
The escape will end
The emptiness will get us all
Hate will prevail
Europe will crumble
A web of lies
Will arise from the ashes
United as one
All that I saw
Tears ran down
All that I gave
Once gave
I gave it all to you
All that I saw
Tears ran down
All that I gave
Once gave
I gave it all to you
Hate will prevail
Love will die
Hate will prevail
Happiness will end
For it is an illusion
A treacherous pipe dream
Hate will prevail
