Текст песни The Eldrich Beguilement (The Vision Bleak) с переводом

In the veil of the night I wandered about at the bole of a tree it did light

I deemed it a stone at first glance, no doubt something in me was lured by its

sight

First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shade and the colours of gold

Thither I hurried, no longer I strolled

Methought it was something divine

Firmly I grasped and now i beheld

No precious did someone bequeath, I tossed it from me and terribly yelled

A skull with a golden teeth!

First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shade and the colours of gold

That thing of aghast it rolled and it rolled till it stopped at one place of malign

Led by a dream

by light deceived

Light-hearted I strolled

through the night

But what the horror

of that ghastly thing?

It is just a burial site

God may know why I frantically graved, where that death’s head

did cover the ground — but what did I see!

Unsound and depraved, my remains and their burial mound

But the horror

of that ghastly thing

did show me my burial site
