《The Last Missive》歌词

[00:00:00] Dawn of the sixteenth century...

[00:00:24] Rome the whore spreads wide her legs

[00:00:27] For Luxury, Lechery,and their bloody corollary...

[00:00:34] Hypocrite town built on heathen grounds,

[00:00:38] Welcome the foulest clan...

[00:00:41] Caesar, Rodrigo and Lucretia,

[00:00:43] The orgiac Borgias...

[00:00:55] On the outside, the Duke Caesar is an accomplished gentleman,

[00:01:02] But he＇s two-faced, his kindness is all on the surface,

[00:01:10] And according to scandalmongers, he＇s even crueller than clever.

[00:01:13] Black eyes, black hair and dark velvet

[00:01:22] Contrast with the cadaveric whiteness of his flesh.

[00:01:27] His father＇s nothing less than the Supreme Pontiff,

[00:01:30] A master in the art to fornicate with the Immaculate,

[00:01:36] A profligate, despite his functions -fraud of god -

[00:01:40] Who meets fleshly Maries in a boudoir next to the sanctuary.

[00:01:52] These two baroque monsters share the same lust for power,

[00:01:59] Seeking to reunite a divided Italy under their unique authority.

[00:02:06] They transform the court of Vatican in a place of delights and elegance

[00:02:13] Where several crowned heads discover the corrosive virtues

[00:02:17] Of a platter seasoned to poison...

[00:02:23] Campaign after campaign, they conquer;

[00:02:33] Those who don＇t surrender are swiftly sent six feet under.

[00:02:35] With despotic politics and diplomacy,

[00:02:55] They amass riches and resentment of many enemies.

[00:02:57] Amidst all this depravity, young Lucretia＇s an oasis of purity,

[00:03:11] Although the noble mob and rightful crooks, skilled in sycophancy,

[00:03:22] Covet her hymen through nebulous hymns...

[00:03:36] Slave of her malefic lineage, crushed by a ceremonial gown,

[00:03:41] The poor child, used and abused,

[00:03:45] Copes three alliances of tribulations.

[00:03:47] But soon, on an afternoon, after a dinner with a friend,

[00:03:52] The pope suffers from severe stomach burns.

[00:03:56] Some days later, he dies in his bed full of sweat,

[00:03:59] Leaving behind him only troubles and confusion...

[00:04:03] The empire he bequeaths to his son

[00:04:13] Dissolves as dew under the sun.

[00:04:38] The House is abolished,

[00:04:49] But the name remained in history

[00:04:53] As a synonymous of treachery.
