That night I didn’t sing nor drink
At her I stared without a blink
Just like a child, a little child
But her lover from the past
Told me coldly that I must
Told me coldly that I must
Leave; I just smiled

And her lover from the past,
He told me I would not last
And I remember, I wasn’t drunk yet
As I was walking out the door
She told me, just one hour more
She told me, stay just until four
please stay, we just met!

But her lover from the past
Did not forget me very fast
We met one autumn, in a dark alley
It was just my friend and I,
Versus eight or nine guys
Yes, he brought eight or nine guys
Together rallied

Now listen here, I had my knife
And if I was to end my life
I’d do it bravely, I’d do it proudly
A cornered wolf against the wall,
I’ll go down fighting as I fall
I’ll go down fighting as I fall
I was shouting loudly

But her lover from the past
Has picked the stage, he picked the cast
He has decided, he sealed our fate
One asshole had me in a lock
My friend was shouting "3 O’Clock!"
My friend was shouting "3 O’Clock"
It was too late

And so my broken life resumed
In the prison surgeon’s room
There I was lying, alive but dying
The doc’ was cutting left and right
He told me, "It will be alright!"
He said "Brother, try to fight"
So I was trying

For my love I was but a phase
She had another in five days
But I forgive her, she had her reasons
Scorning her would be unjust
As for her lover from the past
For her lover from the past
The dead have risen

Scorning her would be unjust
But on her lover from the past
But on her lover from the past
It’s open season
