What do ghouls
dream of?
Do they dream of
fields of bodies
ready to be eaten?
Can anything disturb
their sleep
in the cemeteries
they dwell?
Are they having
nightmares?
Can these scavenger demons
be terrified by anything?
What do ghouls
dream of?
I wish I could ask the one
devouring my dead body right now...
Τι ονειρεύονται
τα γκουλ;
Ονειρεύονται
χωράφια πτωμάτων
έτοιμα να φαγωθούν;
Υπάρχει κάτι που
να διαταράσσει τον ύπνο τους
στα νεκροταφεία που κατοικούν;
Βλέπουν εφιάλτες;
Μπορούν
αυτοί οι πτωματοφάγοι δαίμονες
να τρομοκρατηθούν;
Τι ονειρεύονται
τα γκουλ;
Θα ήθελα να ρωτήσω αυτό
που καταβροχθίζει
το νεκρό μου σώμα μου
ετούτη τη στιγμή...
I think the ghoul that is eating you just had his dream fulfilled! But an excellent question, what does evil dream of? Clever ending by the way!
