Testo Desert Vampire - Rasputina
Testo della canzone Desert Vampire (Rasputina), tratta dall'album Oh Perilous World
A serial killer, a child murderer, a worker at a brick kiln
Desert vampire executed
From the early morning
Police wagons drove through the streets
Announcing the location
And the time of the execution
"At nine in the main square"
They yelled into loudspeakers
And thousands responded to these calls
Soon the square was full of people
Bunches of young boys dangled from trees and lampposts
Spectators held back by barbed wire and one hundred policemen
Chanted "Harder! Harder!"
As officials took turns to flog the killer's bare back
He was flogged one hundred times before being hanged
A brother of one of his young victims stabbed him
As he was being punished
Officials invited the mother of another victim
To put the rope around his neck
To put the blue nylon noose around his neck
The killer was hoisted high into the air by a crane
And slowly throttled to death in front of the baying crowd
Hanging by a crane does not involve a swift death
As the condemned prisoner's neck is not broken
He tricked children to go with him into the desert
By saying they were going to hunt animals
There he would kill them
Then he would burn or bury their bodies
"Again, kill him again!"
His body swayed above the main square
Despite their frustration and anger
Participants called it their happiest day
