Lyrics

Dignity

"Vid ett årsskifte så upplever många en känsla av vemod

Vid tanke på det som aldrig mer återkommer

För andra är det ett ögonblick av förväntan inför möjligheten att erövra det Nya

Andra åter känner oro inför en förändring som innebär ovisshet och kanske försämring

Alla dessa stämningar är var för sig förklarliga

Någon sa här om dagen att vi

Lever I det stora uppbrottets tid..."

Prince of lies is on his knee

Holy rites, spreading the disease

By his side a youthful girl

Wedlocked force unfurls

She's young

Far too young

Far too young

Can we dictate a life with dignity?

Foul agenda corrupt in secrecy

Oh no, no, no, no, no

One false prayer wielding blasphemy

Price the spirit as a wanted property

Oh no, no, no, no, no

Congratulations to the five men of affairs

There was a purpose with this life

Insinuations if she holds anything dear

Then it motivates submission in his lair

He is waiting for darkness, opens the door, he's slithering

He is waiting for darkness, opens the door, he's slithering

He is waiting for darkness, opens the door, he's slithering
