I am leaving my frail body just now,

And I'm feeling, that I am used-to-be.

Once in hundred years I take a bow

On a scaffold, a carnifex cripples me.

I was crucified in the Empire Rome.

In Europe of the Inquisition I was aflame.

Witches hunted for me in my funeral home.

My teeth went up in price. Bad name...

What a shame!

A beauty came into the hypogeum

And stuck her sharp finger nails in my teeth.

May be she whispered her infernal Te Deum.

I heard her laugh. She was again full of pith.

With every moment of alchemic affair

I try to call back unclouded days.

But I feel only this bad chilly air.

My mind is moving off to deep space.

I was crucified in the Empire Rome.

In Europe of the Inquisition I was aflame.

Witches hunted for me in my funeral home.

My teeth went up in price. Bad name...

What a shame!
