The Angel of Mercy has broken his chain
Now he's free, relieved from the pain
He was trapped in his hell, day by day
Damned inexorable to fade away
[Chorus:]
Why these years of sorrow
Why these years of fear
Searching for a reason
But the answer isn't there

Why these years of sorrow
Why these years of fear
Searching for a reason
But in emptiness I steer
[Solo: Halvar]
Why did the Tormentor proceed so brutally?
To slowly twist his neck in pure conspiracy
All of his life he had to try
But he couldn't help praying to die
[Solo: Micke]
[Chorus]
