Devil Doll 《Dies irae》歌词翻译。
Devil Doll是一个神秘的名字，Mr. Doctor是一个暗夜的梦魇。一位来自南斯拉夫的犯罪学与哲学两料博士，为暗潮音乐界带来的，是一场场凄艳而辉煌的摇滚歌剧。1993年，《Dies irae》开始录制，这张取名自莫扎特《安魂曲》中“震怒之日”段落的专辑，多灾多难的在一场录音室大火中消失殆尽。Mr. Doctor沉默了一年，在94年邀请来了克罗地亚女高音Norina Radovan，《Dies irae》终于重新录制发行。然而，在这场恐怖阴森，思索深邃，凄美幽艳而壮阔绝伦的伟大表演之后，1997年，Mr. Doctor突然失踪，Devil Doll由此解散，一切都戛然而止，发生了什么，没有人知道。
《Dies irae》是暗潮音乐界难以抹去的永恒经典，也是Mr. Doctor出众而深刻的哥特才华淋漓尽致的体现。除开这部摇滚歌剧中复杂的音乐元素，Mr. Doctor在这张专辑的歌词中也使用了爱伦坡，艾米丽•勃朗特，波德莱尔，王尔德以及大量上世纪初表现主义电影的典故，奇妙诡谲的意象和直扣心扉的警句，都使得听众为之凄迷窒息。
早说了考完试要翻译一张暗潮专辑，写一张民谣专辑。选择Devil Doll和Mr. Doctor，是自不量力的艰难之事，只希望我的拙劣文笔，能够刻画Mr. Doctor那贯穿宇宙与灵魂的哥特情感世界之万一。
