Antichrist

     from ARIA 1991 "Blood For Blood"
     Music by Vitaly Dubinin & Vladimir Holstinin
     Lyrics by Margarita Pushkina
     English translation by Little Prince
 


I was born when Devil
said the evil prayer
in the dark den of the beasts.
Black satanic angel
led me through the nature
of immortal human sins.
I have passed through fire,
through the sea and iron,
through the dust amid the worms.
Vicious is my fame,
Antichrist - my name.
You are Jesus on the cross!

By myself I'm a phantom
banished off the temple,
by yourself you're a mythic ghost.
We are like two brothers
with eternal power,
glorified in hymns and curse.
But you keep a secret,
and the sin is speaking
out of the holiest lips.
I'm not betraying,
Antichrist - my name,
how heavy your cross is!

Christened in the bloodshed,
not in holy water,
you were in the first year A.D.
King tormented babies,
and the mournful wails
filled the heart with misery.
King was seeking Jesus
to pull you to pieces,
but the God blessed you to go.
From the bloody sands you
had your fame ascended -
you are Jesus, great your throne,
thro - o - o - o  - one .....

   ...Millions treated you as acquitted,
      Satan my Father dissents!
      Fallen is Angel, calling for vengeance,
      and I?m the one who repays!
      Scores to settle, set you a battle
      in the millenium year!
      Likely are prophets that I'll fall first,
      but you will perish as well!

666 - my number,
Antichrist - my name.
666 - my number,
see you in the hell!
