Crimson Blood

By Melancholic VIncent

Blood is thick as crimson
Of the sanguinare he mocks
There's no worst sentence that awaits him
But the indubitable certainty
That Hades will come
To feed on hands
Bathed in purple-red
In a river of ardent lava
Creeping slowly
Devouring impenitent sinners
Downhill until the depths
Where lay impertinent tombs
.

The initial text was made in Portuguese, following is the original text.

Sangue de Escarlate

"O sangue é espesso como escarlate
Do sanguinário ele escarnece
Não há sentença pior que lhe espere
Se não a certeza indubitável
Que o Hades há-de surgir
Para se alimentar de mãos
Banhadas em vermelho-púrpura
Num rio de lava ardente
Rastejando lentamente
Devora pecadores impenitentes
Colina abaixo ate ás profundezas
Onde jazem túmulos impertinentes"

    Portuguese, from Portugal, in Europe. Yeah, the original text it's mine, you must be from the United States or something? Thanks! It's about punishment when we do something bad.
