Iceland
A plate steel object was fired
And I did not feel for my compatriots
Hated even the core of myself
Not a matter of ill-health
It was fear of weakness deep in core of myself
The fact attainment was out of
Mounting orations
The populations
To be humbled in Iceland
Sing of legend, sing of destruction
Witness the last of the god-men
Hear about Magnus Jonsson
Cast the runes against your own soul
There is not much more time to go
Work 15 hours for the good of the soul
And be humbled in Iceland
Sit in the gold room
Fall down flat in the Café Isle
Without a glance from the clientele
Good coffee black as well
Hair blond as hell
Cast the runes against your own soul
Roll up for the underpants show
And be humbled in Iceland
And the spawn of the volcano
Is thick and impatient
Like the people around it
See a green goblin redhead, redhead
Make a grab for the book of prayers
Do anything for a bit of attention
Get humbled in Iceland
What the goddamn fuck is it
That played the pipes of aluminum?
A Memorex for the Krakens
That induces this rough text
And casts the runes against the self-soul
And humbles in Iceland
And I did not feel for my compatriots
Hated even the core of myself
Not a matter of ill-health
It was fear of weakness deep in core of myself
The fact attainment was out of
Mounting orations
The populations
To be humbled in Iceland
Sing of legend, sing of destruction
Witness the last of the god-men
Hear about Magnus Jonsson
Cast the runes against your own soul
There is not much more time to go
Work 15 hours for the good of the soul
And be humbled in Iceland
Sit in the gold room
Fall down flat in the Café Isle
Without a glance from the clientele
Good coffee black as well
Hair blond as hell
Cast the runes against your own soul
Roll up for the underpants show
And be humbled in Iceland
And the spawn of the volcano
Is thick and impatient
Like the people around it
See a green goblin redhead, redhead
Make a grab for the book of prayers
Do anything for a bit of attention
Get humbled in Iceland
What the goddamn fuck is it
That played the pipes of aluminum?
A Memorex for the Krakens
That induces this rough text
And casts the runes against the self-soul
And humbles in Iceland
