|
Overpowered by his tendency for evil |
|
A man drew out an ancient magic formula |
|
Painted two circles on the ground |
|
And burned pine and poplar |
|
Other ingredients followed into the cauldron |
|
Opium, poppy, aloe, hemlock |
|
As the flames blazed |
|
He began to mutter his conjuration |
|
Chosen from the devilish group |
|
Send the big grey ghost |
|
Who makes humanity tremble |
|
Come, come, come |
|
Steam and cintment begin to work |
|
The man sinks to his knees |
|
He implores to the ghost of the unknown |
|
To give him the power of metamorphosis |
|
I ask. I call. I implore you |
|
You phantom of the darkness |
|
Nobody's like you |
|
Transform me into a werewolf |
|
At last perfectly transformed in his fantasy |
|
The werewolf hunts in the darkness |
|
He serves the evil one |
|
With heart, body and soul |
|
He's damned night after night |
|
Scouring dales in search of human victims |
|
He knows that he's vulnerable |
|
For defense he mutters the last words of the ritual |
|
Smelt the ball, blunt the knife |
|
Let the cudgel wear away |
|
Terrorize man, wild animals |
|
And reptiles shake in terror |
|
Why they don't seize the grey wolf |
|
And skin his warm coat |
|
My word is strong, stronger than the sleep |
|
Stronger than the strength of heroes |
