(Apocalyptic Incantations) (Mixing shamanistic language with hi-tech buzzwords)
Translation by Jeroen Groenewegen-Lau
What's with you
What's with you
What's with you
People in the city, city in the village
And where did dreams get lost?
The restlessness of love, pain drives you insane
(For) chicken (prostitutes), duck (gigelos) and the sweet taste of flesh
How many worries consume the gentleman?
How much liquor can you hold?
What if the heart flies off, what if we are blind
Will we ever see the light of day?
Doomsday 2012 is coming
Do you want to keep your wife?
You should know life is unpredictable
Maybe tomorrow she'll sleep with me
That fresh flower of the neighbors
Crawls over the eastern wall
What's with her?
Fumbling your way to her, you see the excellence of the West
What's up with that?
Mountain amidst clouds, birds circling the sky, why are they in bitter embrace?
And what's with that?
Winter goes, spring comes, how could human language ever penetrate this mystery?
Doomsday 2012 is coming
Do you want to keep your wife?
You should know life is unpredictable
Maybe tomorrow she'll run off with me
This fish bowl belongs to our country (The bowl reads 'Diaoyu island')
The snow lotus belongs to your country
Confuckius (!) belongs to us seumnida (Korean suffix)
Mutton kebabs belong to your country
This belongs to us...
Doomsday 2012 is coming
Why do you still want more?
Doomsday 2012 is coming
Isn't there anything you want to get rid off?
Doomsday 2012 is coming
Do you still want your wife?
Doomsday 2012 is coming
All of this, all of this belongs to our country
Hey Hey... Heaven is caving in
Hey Hey... Rivers are flooding over
Hey Hey... Heaven is caving in
Hey Hey... Rivers are flooding over
A group of road end gods
A case of wrongly opened door
A stream of spring water people
Flows east with joy and sadness
(Apocalyptic Incantations)
