About this place laced with demon seed 关于这个地方的股价与恶魔之种

   

Blanchet, a priest, his book of lies 布兰切特，一个牧师，他的书的谎言

Exonerated him from Gilles' crimes 免除了他从吉尔犯罪

Announced his fears, one night of sighs 宣布了他的恐惧，人们感叹晚

A night for cursing nursery rhymes 一夜咒骂童谣

In the light of the fire wrestling feckless shadows 在火灾摔跤无能阴影的光
