Текст песни: The Love Song of Gotho, Hunchback of the Morgue + перевод

Wolfgang Gotho:

Hunchback of the Morgue

Lurking amidst carrion

Deep in hospital bowels

A hulking malformed horror: his face

Will turn your guts!

But tender hearted is the brute —

And hungry for love

The gruesome hunchback

Will love you for always

And hideous Gotho

Will see you die…

But in Feldkirch

There is no love for Gotho

Only students' mockery

And children’s stones

But there is Elsa, pale with

Consumption’s kiss

To her, Gotho brings roses —

Always the roses until…

But melancholy breeds

A morbid lust for murder

And then the hunchback

Will have his revenge!

The gruesome hunchback

Will love you for always

And hideous Gotho

Will see you die…

Inquisition’s crypt: a home for

Gotho’s dead bride

Chambers lighted by rabid vermin

Burning alive

Elsa sleeps in black rot

And Orlo promises rebirth

Morgue pillaging and grave desecra-

Tion: The Primordial must feed!

Orlo’s abomination

Needs living flesh…

Chloroformed lesbo convicts —

All for Elsa’s love…

The hunchback’s deranged horrors

Descend into Hell:

Autopsy guttings, shovel bludgeonings

Iron maiden deaths…

But all in vain, the Doctor’s

Megalomania revealed

Unleashed is the Primordial, that

Oozing humanoid nightmare!

It hungers and howls

And attacks the hunchback

But the acid bath awaits — and the

Burning rats cry Gotho’s name…

The gruesome hunchback will love

You for always

And hideous Gotho

Will see you die…
