Aamu [English translation]

As people1 are

lost without a leader

the world is

lost without God

Five loafs of bread were shared2

Two fish were shared

This has to suffice

The maker of these wonders won't return

Morning is

like the nest of some strange bird

fragile aloft

It rocks

on the rotten wood of the treetop and cold wind

pulling and dragging violently

I don't put my children

to sleep with a fairytale any more

We listen, how

conquerors march on the streets

Ideology, religion, money

in the name of all evil

we have to swallow, we swallow a horse

and it's leather

Morning is

like the nest of some strange bird

fragile aloft

It rocks

in the rotten wood of the treetop and cold wind

pulling and dragging violently

Or an instrument

built from the darkness of night

frost's hair for strings

put together from cobwebs in morning dew

sounding like strings of death

Tuonelas3 instrument plays

a gangly kantele4 jingles

The night thickens, and

the last beams of light escape

when death's hands caress us
