We come from north from the land of the thousand lakes 
Only able to express ourselves with violence 

Some of us waste their lives by drowning themselves in the bottle 
Some of us live their lives saying nothing at all 

It's not hard to see 
that we're pleased to be 
engaged to the circle of misery 

We use no words to tell what is wrong with us 
This desperate land needs its desperate ways 

Some of us take the rope and hang themselves 
Some of us live their lives avoiding that fall 

It's not hard to see 
that we're pleased to be 
engaged to the circle of misery 

Triumph of misery - that's all we have 
Triumph of misery - in this ice-cold land 
Triumph of misery - that's all we have 
Triumph of misery - in this ice-cold... 

Triumph of misery - that's all we have 
Triumph of misery - in this ice-cold land 
Triumph of misery - that's all we have 
Triumph of misery - in this ice-cold land
