Satan i Betong [English translation]

We are gazing so strangly, no more life left to be seen

A quite and gloomy scenery that used to be so vivid

What kind of sadness can effect this region and clime like this?

What is the name of the creature that hurt it so much?

It is turning and winding, it is stomping and destroying

See, the area is suffering and faith here is the village

No more hope about salvation, no more faith for tomorrow

And look, there the future hangs with a loop tight around its neck

It is the devil in concrete, everywhere you can hear it sing

He is demanding his tribute, demanding his tribute

Devil in concrete, it is the devil in concrete

By the country, demanding violantly its tribute

The whole country would live, the motto sounded beautiful

We made the promise belie, or was it just a lie

Without a simple thought by the wise men in town

But they were fishing for the power, for power they were fishing

But behold what is happening, yes see what is happening

The hunger for pleasure, blood and gold is growing in town

In the village where hidden and forgotten withers, schools turn to dust

And look, there the future hangs with a loop tight around its neck

It is the devil in concrete, everywhere you can hear it sing

He is demanding his tribute, demanding his tribute

Devil in concrete, it is the devil in concrete

By the country, demanding violantly its tribute (x2)
