Analysis of Barbarian yell
Justice is descending into black
like a creaky coffin.
The invisible hand of the wind
entangled justice in darkness…
I felt the mist breath
of Those who can be easily led astray.
With the uncanny manoeuvre of a lover,
greed is seducing lost souls,
and the barbarian yell
rips its salacious blade
into wounded justice…
THEY…they wake up
from the tombs of their spirits
when the moon is full.
Under the disguise of charity
they peek throught the windows of souls...;
They are always feverish
and the shadows of life depart into darkness again.
From up above,
a curse descended
like the cursed Dutchman's ship bell
and way down,
in the cursed swamps,
The Northern Cross of the lost souls is flaming…
Everything was the same as yesterday:
In hell,days and nights are alike as twins
like a long trail of nothingness.
