Перевод песни Dimmu Borgir - The night masquerade

A scarlet sunset
The threshold to nightplay
A sinful oath is to be sworn
A beckoning bloodlust
Among the seekers
Tyrranic hunger yearns

A gathering in flames and fires –
Devil’s daughters dance
Scourged in filth, obscene and lewd –
Longing for dark desires

The nocturnal beast appears
In an evil despotic shape
Expectant watching gracelessly
Before demanding the sluts of lust

Before demanding the sluts of lust!

[the Beast:]
“Come forth harlots, let’s begin!”

[the Beast approaches:]
“Rise and give praise in front of Me
And recieve eternal life from Me!
Welcome my spirit in honor of Me!
So drink of the blood I provide you
And you shall all forever wander in
The shadows of death!”

[the chanting whores:]
“Oh yes, Master!
Let us recieve Thine offer
And drink with Thee!
And become a part of Thy realm
With lust, sex and sodomy –
For we are those who seek life eternally!”

[the Beast:]
“Blood is life and it shall be all ours!”
