lyrics

10. Ikoni

Käy eteeni.
Ovella minä seison.
Tutkin syntisi.
Säädän paikkasi.
Tuomitsen ja määrään rangaistuksen,
pelastus vai kadotus.

Katso eteesi.
Näetkö itsesi?
Hennon peilikuvasi.
Vai näetkö jumalasi?
Tyhjyyden vai täydellisyyden?

Muokkaamasi ikonin
raskaat värit kasvojasi painollaan jo väsyttävät.
Muokkaamasi ikoni.
Raskaat, uudet kasvosi.

10. Icon

Come before me.
By the door I stand.
Looking into your sins.
Setting your place.
I judge and decide the punishment,
salvation or damnation.

See before you.
Do you see yourself?
Your fragile image.
Or do you see your god?
Emptiness or perfection?

The icon you worked on
heavy colours tiring your face with their weight
The icon you worked on.
Your heavy new face.
