In a northern land
 Lives a man
 Sheltered by his cabin
 Against snow and ice
 
 The weather is cold
 And the sky is hidden
 The days are short
 His life is tough
 
 I hate my life
 
 Outside my door
 Awaits the shadows
 To conquer my soul
 I never get rest
 
 Thoughtful and guilty
 I'm down on my knees
 Begging for pardon
 I'll never be free
 
 I hate my life
 
 I'm out of my mind
 I'm left to the shadows
 I'm tired and weak
 They will get me now
 
 I'm riding the winds
 I follow my strings
 I'm free from my body
 You'll never get me
 
 I hate my life
 
 The family is gone
 Lonely and scared
 Shadows in my mind
 Shadows in my heart
 
 I hate my life
 Shadows and demons are visiting at night
 I hate my lonely life
