In this lonely microcosmos
Of pine trees and rainy clouds,
Everlasting winters encourage my insanity
And all my destructive addictions.
Long nights at the verge of hypothermia
My thoughts were covered by thick frost,
And the hope for salvation
Put to sleep under the old trees.
Ale running through my scarred veins
The alcoholic fever possesses my blood
And all the broken dreams are resurrected
To be broken once again.
In the loneliness of the forest
Where the shadows never fade away
The orgy of barley and hops
Excite in me the deepest emotions
Of disgust and despise
For all the living things.
