Choir struck up, and the temple rocked; The Grim Reaper came to me at 5 o'clock, With the pain in chest, I have quickly broken free! Faces of the Milanese whores And of spinsters are trembling and deformed, Every harlot and spinster wants to harrow me! I was their bone in throat, I was in their darkest thoughts; My vengeance on 'em is wrought…
Hey! Everyone believes That I can perceive Passions of the kings And of lowly beings; I played violin, My talent was my sin, During my lifetime, I've been playing with fire!
But my soul never had a brand, And I knew no laws but the Ten Commands, But my violin is adorned with secret mark, And the snake managed to deceive The entire world; now everyone believes That I sold my soul to Satan, Genius of the Dark! The Devil's my bone in throat, He invaded my darkest thoughts, My vengeance was to be wrought…
Hey! Everyone believes That I can perceive Passions of the kings And of lowly beings; I played violin, My talent was my sin, Snake was just a liar, I was playing with fire!
Hey, violinist! You resist The temptation, you're Just a slave that always played My infernal tune, You don't want to know that genius is me! And you can't believe that you're a case for me… Hey, violinist! You don't exist Anymore, and thus Never mind the humankind; What is it to us? Everything it wants is pleasure for itself, If you were Jimi Hendrix, you still wouldn't help…
Now descend to hell, Where you're gonna dwell 'Til the end of time, Turn the sound to wine; Here, beyond the tomb, You shall play my tune; Since you have expired, You shall play with fire! (3×)
