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
