Lyrics
… och nu hon i kyrkobänken sitter i tystnad
Förstummad av denna insiktens stund
I skenet av slocknande ljus jag ser
Hennes själ lämna den kropp hon alltid önskat …
Att köttets lustar behaga
Genom ångest, kval och bikt
En hora hon skymtar i spegeln
Att under jordens synder förslava
Av ångest jag ropar ut hennes namn
Låt det eka mellan dessa vitkalkade väggar
En psalm spelas till hennes ära
Som i detta heliga hus alltid skall ringa
Lyrics translation
nu and now she in the church bench sits in silence
Dumbfounded by this moment of insight
In the glow of the dimming light I see
Her soul leave the body she always wanted …
To the whims of meat please
Through anguish, torment and confession
A whore she glimpses in the mirror
To enslave under the sins of the Earth
Out of anguish I shout out her name
Let it echo between these whitewashed walls
A hymn is played in her honor
As in this holy house shall always call
