1. Give your sacrifice air, do not hasten its death
Lest you take the afterbirth while it writhes

2. This is ugly and my knowledge inconsistent
With what happens, but in the ground I delve

3. And people because of this matter are in darkness
And I have no hope that dawn will shine

4. People have passed and we grew confident
That we would follow, so the trees sway

5. If they disappeared into darkness ahead of us
By a little, then we shall surely follow
