At the very start

在万物之本初

There were whispers in the dark

永夜中萦绕着耳语

And for all the world to see

整个世界无不在昭示

There was witchcraft at its heart

那充斥着巫术的本质

And on the autumn air

暮秋的气息里

The scent of bonfires everywhere

混绕着火灰的余味

And a fell wind stirred the leaves...

一阵逆风搅拌着翻卷的落叶...



The persecution song

奏出一首困扰之曲



Telltale signs of possession

泄密者暗示出地狱的所有权

Little Miss Demeanour in the demons bed

风度翩然的小姐卧于恶魔的床榻

Gasps she just could not suppress

急促的喘息下她无法镇定

After lights-out midst the dead

当濒死的气息吹响寝号

And a past on which sin cast its darts of wickedness

原罪掷出恶毒之镖，罪恶又将得以传承



Time was running faster for disaster

时间，飞逝，灾难渐进

Strange nights were burning

诡异的夜晚熊熊燃尽

In the furnace of her dreams

在她梦魇的熔炉中

A name was uttered, Lilith

那个名字被一再提及，莉莉丝

Mistress, playmate, master

黑暗的女士，恶魔的玩伴，折磨的主宰

Such sights were stolen in the throes of ecstasy

洞察力被令人陶醉的剧痛窃取殆尽



And in the thick of all

在那一切的高潮

In the Black Goddess's thrall

在黑夜女神的掌控之下

With the wood unseen for trees

在目不暇接的枯木倒影中

Victoria stood tall

维多利亚挺起身姿

Promiscuous in step

交媾节奏一致

The Devil breathing down her neck

恶魔的鼻息爱抚着她的脖颈

As jealous zealots stitched apiece...

嫉妒将那群失志狂徒命运缝合...



The persecution song

一首困扰之歌



Telltale signs of possession

泄密者暗示出地狱的所有权

Fickle Miss Demeanour hissed and disappeared

薄情的小姐唏嘘不已，消失不见

To her Sisters of the cloth

逃向她那群修女姐妹之间

She now reeked of Astaroth

她如今散发着阿斯塔洛特的恶臭

Again the curse had surfaced

再一次，远古的诅咒浮现

Sneaking back the pagan years

她卑怯的匍匐向那异教统治时代的旧路



Weaving webs of great revealing

她袒露的欲望如蛛网摇曳

Hidden in the convent

被禁锢在修道院之中

An evil libido abided, undone

隐忍着邪恶的淫欲，克制

Breathing, deceiving

气踹嘘嘘，自我欺骗

Feasting on her deviant feelings

饕餮那越轨的感官享乐

She'd clung to her crucifix

每当这种折磨骤起

Once her torturers begun

她便拥紧十字架



Her screams came quick

她的叫声愈渐急促

The miserichord

恍如苦恼之弦

Den to vice and screw

那卖娼与藏垢的巢穴

That had reddened many tongues

被千舌的爱抚舔红

Wrung symphonies

那叫声仿佛

Of suffering from her

从她的矛盾中榨压出的交响



Many moons hardened pure hearts

原本纯洁的心如今覆满老茧

Those plagued by her black arts

这便是她那黑暗艺术散播的疫病

Their rooms secreting phantom orgies

在她们的密室中幽魂纵欲狂欢

Vile rites and rifled graves

卑劣的仪式如同洗劫坟墓



Mere hours, now towered

仅仅几个小时，如今高高在上

Above this bent and beaten flower

远在那些因透支而凋残的花朵之上

Her naked body privy to

她一丝不挂的胴体指点出

The Abbess and her ways

她那通往深渊的道路



Victoria fought

维多利亚挣扎着

No guilt was wrought

却并非因为愧疚

Just a torrid retort of blasphemies

仅仅是以赤裸的亵渎来反抗

Nails and crosses vomited forth

银桩和十字架让她呕吐

From this pretty little whore now arched like Hell

这漂亮的小婊子如今身躯高拱如同地狱之门





Arched like Hell

如同地狱之门



At the very start

在万物之本初

There were whispers in the dark

永夜中萦绕着耳语

And for all the world to see

整个世界无不在昭示

There was witchcraft at its heart

那充斥着巫术的本质

But then the end grew nigh

但终了时刻，夜色蔓延开来

A dirge inferno filled the sky

地狱火湖的挽歌填满天穹

In its customary key...

用那惯常的琴键演奏...





The persecution song

一首困扰之歌



Telltale signs of possession

泄密者暗示出地狱的所有权

No wailing banshee would dishonour their name

没有哪个嚎哭的死亡女妖会回绝他们的名字

Nuns dragged her to the blasted oak

修女们将她拖向爆燃的橡木柴堆

Storm-clouds threatened holy smoke

雨云聚拢预示着那圣洁的烟柱

They hanged her there like Judas

他们将她像犹大一样高高悬起

With the Hellcat in her reined

把女巫的罪牌挂在她出众的颈项



Time was running faster for disaster

时间，飞逝，灾难渐进

Exorcism, torture, gallows

驱邪，拷打，绞架

Now a shallow grave

如今是窄窄的墓穴

A name was stuttered, Isaac

那个名字支支吾吾，以以撒之名

Tongue-tied, simple, bastard

结巴，蠢货，杂种

They made him dig the pit

他们逼他自掘坟墓

Mindless of what it claimed 

因为那显而易见丧失的理智







.阿斯达罗特【Astarote】黑蛇的化身，掌管七大罪的怠惰。又被称为「恐怖公」。以杀戮、血腥为乐。因自尊心高，无法容忍能力低劣的妹妹‧阿丝达罗娣和自己共用一个身体。（其实很爱自己的妹妹，并没有用自己强大的力量使自己与妹妹分离）在妹妹死后留下眼泪。（在其他书中：在众多恶魔之中，这一位是非常“稀有”的以女神为起源的女性天使。在古代巴比伦神话中掌管丰饶、性爱、金星、战斗的美之女神Ishtar正是她的原型。Ishtar是位仁慈、广施恩惠的女神，有一位爱人。然而不知什么原因，她的爱并没有持续很久，而是逐渐冷淡，开始伤害自己以前的恋人，最终置对方于死地（一说将对方变成了动物）。可能是她的冷淡无情，使后人又把她作为娼妇的守护神。之后，她成为流传于迦南的女神Astarote，在圣经中以魔神身份登场，渐渐的具备了恶魔的要素。外貌方面，她是头上有着新月行犄角的美丽女神，不过有时也将她的头部表现为牡牛。《失乐园》中，米尔顿描写到供奉她的巫女们在月夜祈祷，将歌声奉献给她的情节。但是，她反对唯一神的存在，而且鼓 励偶像崇拜，所以渐渐从神的行列中被淡化，而成为了恶魔。
