[English]

Made to reign

a bed of crystal

Embodiment of evil

fatal influence

You'd lay at your feet

even Lucifer himself

Deceptive facade on the outside

Rotten on the inside

Enslaves our will

Enchanting our souls

lying with your...

Mask of seduction

born for pleasure

You lead to an eternal abyss

Muse of disappointment

Ephemeral perfection

You'll finally be damned

Divine and infernal

Emotional orgasm

In your realm of simplicity

Vanity reigns

Virgin beauty

Blessed by Satan

Ready to masturbate

a wounded heart

You promise happiness, but give humiliation in return

You confuse the senses

lying with your...

Mask of seduction

born for pleasure

You lead to an eternal abyss

Such an unreal ecstasy

Such a fleeting mirage

Stay away from me

Mask of seduction

born for pleasure

You lead to an eternal abyss

Such an unreal ecstasy

Such a fleeting mirage

Stay away from me

One day upon waking

Ephemeral perfection

You'll see your nightmare come true

[Spanish]

Hecha para reinar

un lecho de cristal

Representación del mal

influencia fatal

Pondrías a tus pies

al mismo Lucifer

Engañosa farsa en el exterior

Podrido el interior

Esclaviza nuestra voluntad

Hechiza nuestras almas

miente con tu...

Máscara de seducción

nacida para el placer

Conduces a un abismo eterno

Musa de la decepción

Efímera perfección

Finalmente serás maldita

Divina e infernal

Orgasmo emocional

En tu feudo de simplicidad

Reina la vanidad

Belleza virginal

Bendecida por Satán

Dispuesta a masturbar

Maltrecho corazón

Prometes dicha, a cambio das humillación

Confundes los sentidos

miente con tu...

Máscara de seducción

nacida para el placer

Conduces a un abismo eterno

Éxtasis tan irreal

Tan fugaz espejismo

Aléjate de mí

Máscara de seducción

nacida para el placer

Conduces a un abismo eterno

Éxtasis tan irreal

Tan fugaz espejismo

Aléjate de mí

Un día al despertar

Efímera perfección

Verás tu pesadilla hacer realidad

Key Grammar Structures

• [translate:Hecha para reinar]

  ➔ Past participle used as an adjective or passive construction

  ➔ The word 'Hecha' comes from 'hacer' and means 'made' — used to describe something created for a purpose ('made to reign').

• [translate:Podrido el interior]

  ➔ Omitted verb in a descriptive phrase (elliptical construction)

  ➔ The verb 'estar/ser' is omitted; it means 'the inside is rotten'. This creates a poetic effect.

• [translate:Pondrías a tus pies al mismo Lucifer]

  ➔ Conditional tense

  ➔ 'Pondrías' (from 'poner') expresses a hypothetical or unreal action — 'you would place even Lucifer at your feet'.

• [translate:Engañosa farsa en el exterior]

  ➔ Adjective-noun agreement in gender and number

  ➔ Both 'Engañosa' and 'farsa' are feminine singular, showing correct gender agreement.

• [translate:Esclaviza nuestra voluntad]

  ➔ Present indicative third person singular

  ➔ 'Esclaviza' from 'esclavizar' means 'enslaves' — a general statement about constant action.

• [translate:Belleza virginal bendecida por Satán]

  ➔ Past participle used in a passive structure with 'por'

  ➔ 'Bendecida por Satán' means 'blessed by Satan' — the agent is introduced by 'por' in a passive phrase.

• [translate:Prometes dicha, a cambio das humillación]

  ➔ Contrast with conjunction and present tense verbs

  ➔ Two actions contrasted: 'you promise happiness' vs. 'you give humiliation'. Both in simple present show general behavior.

• [translate:Aléjate de mí]

  ➔ Imperative form with reflexive pronoun

  ➔ 'Aléjate' (from 'alejarse') means 'get away from me'; 'te' shows the reflexive nature of the action.

• [translate:Un día al despertar]

  ➔ Temporal expression with infinitive

  ➔ 'Al despertar' means 'upon waking' — the preposition 'al' + infinitive expresses time relation.

• [translate:Verás tu pesadilla hacer realidad]

  ➔ Future tense with causative infinitive

  ➔ 'Verás' (you will see) + 'hacer realidad' forms 'you will see your nightmare become reality' — infinitive acts as object complement.
