The lyrics translated:

The end of the world

With the break of dawn I ride my bike along the forest edge,
the curving path leads to the shore,
like a maid in a fairytale, I lay down in the hay and enjoy myself.

I pick a daffodil dried, lay it in my basket,
The hot wind plays on my hair like a lover I've just left.

No sound from beyond the forest, not a ripple on the sea,
I feel peace inside, see all flash in the flames of the beginning of the end.
On my face the burning air, the cries of the dying carry from the edge of the bay,
I smell the terror, taste the blood of fear on my tongue.

At last, the end of the world came, the earth's crust too generous melted,
the walls of fire burn everything pointless away with their kelvins.
Prayers of the suffering, ash, screams
Tongues of fire burn the begging, the end of the world came at last,
humanity melted in the flow of lava.

I ride my bike along the sea boiling,
dead fish washing up on the shore.
I ring my bell in thanks for sweeping away every pointless thing
In the horizon I see a power plant crumbling, people in prayer falling.
I see the firestorm over the skyline, inspired to final destruction
This will be the final trip, a smile most tender I'll leave behind,
I smell the daffodil one last time, taste cherries from my basket,
the daybreak of destruction most beatiful, I raise a toast to it,
cycle into the flames
they welcome with open arms, the light finally layed to rest.


At last, the end of the world came, the earth's crust too generous melted,
the walls of fire burn everything pointless away with their kelvins.
Prayers of the suffering, ash, screams
Tongues of fire burn the begging, the end of the world came at last,
humanity melted in the flow of lava.
