Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sa mère y a succombé
Il but le sang chaud de celle-ci
Qui gisait là sous lui
Oh damné tueur, oh damné terreur
Oh damné tueur, damné tueur
Oh damné, oh damné terreur
Oh damné tueur, damné tueur
D'oú sortent le démons
Bientôt il rejoindra son père
Dans ses domaines profonds
Mon seul but est de détruire, de domainer
Personne ne pourra jamais m'en empêcher
Les forces occultes et maléfiques pour m'aider
Je vais hurler, brûler, saccager et régner
Et martyrisant sur leur croix
Les moines qui l'implorient
Il supprima chacune des lois
Qui pour lui le gênaient
Corbeau volant sur la dynastie
Il changea les religions
Anéantissant toute vie
Aidé de ses félons
Monté et dressé sur mon plus haut perchoir
Célébrant dans le sang ma plus belle victoire
C'est un spectacle qui restera dans ma mémoire
Ils ont hurlé, pleuré, imploré, succombé
