Translation
Denmark
A man is sitting in a dark office
With his hands full of lead
In the evening shipping, he's the last man aboard
Tomorrow, the sails will be set anew
And out of his window, he sees the last light of the city
in the steaming smoke of the chimney
He's fumbling blindly for love and kisses
But the bird on the roof flew away
But when, yes, when will he wake up and see
That the Denmark he loves will die?
And why, yes, why are fields and cities being set on fire?
And the very same flames burn in his home
With empty promised, he forges actionless words
Until the closet with weapons are filled up
But no one has asked him to protect this North
Yet, we're following suit
But when, yes, when will we wake up and see
That the Denmark we love will die?
And why, yes, why are fields and cities being set on fire?
And the very same flames will burn our homes
