Lyrics

Charlatan

[Intro]

"Vem är Gud? Vad är Gud?"

"Det är en svår fråga!"

"Jag tror inte på Gud"

"Tror du på Gud?"

"Nej!"

"Varför skulle jag?"

[Verse 1]

Three thousand dreams in pale moonlight

Counting

Three thousand years of Winter's blight

Ticking off against my heart

[Chorus]

Here come the months of squalor

Clasp death in his parlour

A sorrow celebration

She canes a thousand creations

[Verse 2]

Three hundred days in an endless night

Frost smiles

Three hundred weapons on manhunt

Craving more blood to its name

[Chorus]

Here come the months of squalor

Clasp death in his parlour

A sorrow celebration

She canes a thousand creations

[Bridge]

Cities, violated graves

Yonder distance, perfect slave

You

[Outro]

"Gud, Gud, Gud... är Gud hans namn?"

"Nä, Jesus!"

"Finns det bara en Gud?"

"Nä"

"Hur många finns det?"

"30 miljoner hundratusentals"

"Oj!"

"Det är en I varje land"

"Ok. Kan de prata med varandra?"

"Nä"

"Han kan flyga bara har ett huvud, på en månbild!"

"Folk säger att han vakar över oss där uppe"

"En dör"

"Det finns inget rätt eller fel"

"Det finns inget rätt eller fel"

"Det finns inget rätt eller fel"

"Vad tror du händer när man dör?"

"Jag tror väl mest att man... ligger kvar på sin gravplats, typ"
