Lyrics Tankard – Hyperthermia

It’s my vacation
I’m leaving soon
A trip to Finland
On a sunny afternoon

Helsinki-Airport
Straight out of town
I’ll drive through woodlands
And relax a week alone

Nature — my cottage is waiting
A lake on the countryside
Rumours — the natives are talking
Of legends that come here to life

I need a steam bath in the old Finnish ways
I want to sweat, up to a hundred degrees

Heat up the stove!
The sauna is cleansing my body and mind
Water on stones, a mystical place
Beware of hyperthermia
Heat up the stove!
The dead has been washed here in ancient times
Bodies and bones, I’m crazy in haze
My vision: hyperthermia!

Help me! Somebody’s in here
And temperature’s rising high
Jamming! The door doesn’t open
The dead rise to burn me alive!

I know this evil’s real, that this is no dream
My flesh is scorching, I can hear myself scream!

Heat up the stove!
The sauna is cleansing my body and mind

Stuck in hellfire
Near Helsinki
Years later I’m still here
My soul never will be free

Must find a victim
Some stupid fool
Who takes a steam bath
On a sunny afternoon

I need a steam bath in the old Finnish ways
I want to sweat, up to a hundred degrees

Heat up the stove!
The sauna is cleansing my body and mind
Water on stones, a mystical place
Beware of hyperthermia
Heat up the stove!
The dead has been washed here in ancient times
Bodies and bones, I’m crazy in haze
My vision: hyperthermia!
