[Verse 1]
Old man stiffed with cold
Tearing his fishnet out of the hole
Broken ice pick thrown away
The fat is in the fire
[Refrain]
Thousands bittered, swear words spitted out
(Perkeleen, perkeleen, perkeleen perkele)
Wished all into the deepest hell
(Helevetin, helevetin helevetti)
Pound the ice to distraction
(Perkeleen, perkeleen, perkeleen perkele)
Still the snare stays frozen-in
(Helevetin, helevetin helevetti)
[Verse 2]
Poor man, the world has changed
Humus ties your fishnet now
Water control lowers the lake
Careful what you're fishing for
[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't you see?
Why don't you believe?
Those days have gone
When you caught haul
[Chorus]
Pikemaster — what are you after?
Take it easy or you'll stumble
Pikemaster — what are you after?
Take it easy or you'll stumble
[Post-Chorus]
Why can't you see?
Why don't you believe?
Those days have gone
When you caught haul
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Thousands bittered, swear words spitted out
(Perkeleen, perkeleen, perkeleen perkele)
Wished all into the deepest hell
(Helevetin, helevetin helevetti)
Pound the ice to distraction
(Perkeleen, perkeleen, perkeleen perkele)
Still the snare stays frozen-in
(Helevetin, helevetin helevetti)
[Verse 3]
Who told that you have to pull?
Who told that you have to push?
Don't you ever get enough?
All right, if you want to die
[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't you see?
Why don't you believe?
Those days have gone
When you caught haul
[Chorus]
Pikemaster — what are you after?
Take it easy or you'll stumble
Pikemaster — what are you after?
Take it easy or you'll stumble
