En hinn breii vegur var greifrari hann geng g og krossinn ber

Syndir Guðs - Live at Íslenska Óperan, 1999

Creator creates man in the image of man and
Woman, his partner, his own reflection
The son not to grieve but to comfort those of our time-
Is wisdom always right?
Better to take than to give, they say, and he who
Knows all told me so much and yet I
Learned nothing and forgot all I was taught
Life here was hard, and it was he who hung on the
Cross, the honest simpleton who was he who swung
From the tree while the other more trodden path
He took, carrying his cross, to Paradise
