It Was Often
it was anomalously a good thing
tto help the ˈpu̇ (ə)r people
those who were lost by the *krell
but many an unkknowing supposeds
stood along the broad way
tthat taught them how to *read
towards hell

באופן חריג היה זה דבר טוב לעזור לאנשים ˈpu̇ (ə) לאלו שאבדו על ידי *קרל, אבל הרבה מחשבות לא יודעות עמדו לאורך הדרך הרחבה שלימדו אותם איך *לקרוא לקראת הגיהנום. זה היה לעתים קרובות (תרגום לעברית) באופן חריג היה זה דבר טוב לעזור לבני ˈpu̇ (ə)r אלהלכו לאיבוד ב*הקרל, אבל הרבה סו-פו-זדים לא יודעים לעמוד לאורך הדרך הרחבה שלימדה אותם *לקרוא לגיהנום.
