Hill of Scape-Gallows

Ruins had hung over the old road, standing out against the sky
Covered by thunderclouds. Wildfire of lightnings have flashed over and over again,
When I've driven the horses at spanking pace to the Hill of Scape-Gallows.
Rain beat from heavens as if wishing to wash away the mankind,
Which wallowed in sins from Mother Earth's face, and
In the opinion of ancient space beings - just stinky dirt,
Which is endlessly roting and bringing maggots into this world.
Flashes were similar to the heated iron rod in hand of ruthless demon,
That became executioner and overseer to helpless, enslaved god, who fetter in chains.
In infernal blazes of incessantly beating lightnings,
Which torment exhausted lands with lashes of satanic flame,
Among illusive flashes, I at last distinguished the black walls of horrify castle...
The wind had howled, as frenzied crowd of the vampires, who are weakened
By hunger and are yearning for the new victims blood,
When I've driven my horses to the walls of Drum-ghoul.

Dread Asylum

Tumbledown by time, the castle is crooked on bald
Top of hill like monster which prepared for last furious jump.
Grining gargoyles on eaves tightly closed by storm shutters,
Windows that are looking as eyes covered by veil of cataract.
Stamp of inescapable loneliness and desolation lay on,
All building and respond like echo in intimate depths of my tormented soul.
Roar of the thunder is sounding loud similar to laughter of mad god.
Viscous darkness was closed around me.
It was abhorrent and became permeated with
Smell of death stench by long ago
Of decayed corpses, whose names better not to know.
Semi-decayed oak door slapped loudly behind my back, and I found
Myself in absolute loneliness in lair of villainous painfull death...
... in hell's mouth and in cold waters of Stix, in the damned
And shipped in a night hall of unholy castle - Drum-ghoul.
Invisible black shadows scattered
In the different sides from sound of my steps.
Viscous darkness was closed around me.
It was abhorrent and became permeated by fatality...

Hospitality Of Demon

It seemed, that walls of the castle Drum-ghoul
Had shuddered when demonic unrighteous words
Concerned my hearing. I wanted to cry,
Call to aid someone from the world of light
That this newcomer's power should rescue me
From the condensed evil cloud that ensphered
My body with losing volition... Spirits
Of chasm nearby - I was finally convinced of it!
Something disgusting has been opened to my look:
Swelled-up cheeks, in whose pale pulp as if maggots
Are swarming in corrugations of the saggy eye skin,
They are sparkling by fire in infernal parody of smile.
I felt myself as if the world around has
Broke to small pieces, smashed by mighty fist
Of the rageful feeble-minded unholy god,
And by small crumb was showered into my frozen blood.
Befogged mind tormented with pain and fear began
To see clearly the original hidden sense
Under the obvious putrid dissimulation
Of this outwardly usual invitation!

Pernicious Elixir

By non-human effort I lifted up jorum to shaky,
Parched lips and drank ghoulish infusion. My time has come.
Fire rose in huge fireplace and ate blackened bones of the
Broken coffins stolen from unremembered old cemetery.
I feverishly reflected about this necromantic potion,
Pernicious elixir and about inexpressible terrible
Ingredients, that became basis of the gurgling drink.
Subjects were broken into a gloomy dancing,
When fire of drink ran through my veins.
The room round me began to spin - and with it together
Ugly swollen face of the owner, that was warped by devil
Grin and pale as at the walking dead person.
I felt that hell forces inevitably surround walls of castle Drum-ghoul!
Primeval fear has captured me in halls of gloom!
Demon in shape of human is standing before me like sign of doom!
Space and time broke up, the firm earth crumbled under the feet, and
I was promptly carried away into whirled dance of the rotating constellations...
Cold which is more suitable for cemeterial crypt got into the room -
Against it strange bright and golden tongues of flame were powerless.
Fire rose in huge fireplace and ate blackened bones of the
Broken coffins stolen from old cemetery. My time has come...
