注解1:整个故事的整体框架源于POE的诗作:
The Conqueror Worm - E.A. Poe 1843
     征服者爬虫
                                   曹明伦   译
Lo! 'tis a gala night
瞧！这是个喜庆的夜晚
Within the lonesome latter years!
在最近这些寂寞的年头！
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
一群天使，收拢翅膀，
In veils, and drowned in tears,
遮好面纱，掩住泪流
Sit in a theatre, to see
坐在剧场，观看一出
A play of hopes and fears,
希望与恐怖之剧，
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
此时乐队间间断断
The music of the spheres.
奏着天外之曲．
Mimes, in the form of God on high,
装扮成上帝的一群小丑，
Mutter and mumble low,
叽叽咕咕，自言自语，
And hither and thither fly-
从舞台这头飞到那头－
Mere puppets they, who come and go
他们全是木偶，来来去去
At bidding of vast formless things
全由许多无形物支配，
That shift the scenery to and fro,
无形物不断把场景变换，
Flapping from out their Condor wings
从他们秃鹰的翅膀内
Invisible Woe!
拍出看不见的灾难！
That motley drama- oh, be sure
那出杂剧－哦，强相信
It shall not be forgot!
将不会被人遗忘！
With its Phantom chased for evermore,
因为它那被抓不住它的人，
By a crowd that seize it not,
永远在追求的幻想，
Through a circle that ever returneth in
因为一个永远旋转的怪圈
To the self-same spot,
最后总是转回原处，
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
因为情节之灵魂总是罪恶，
And Horror the soul of the plot.
充满疯狂，充满恐怖．
But see, amid the mimic rout
可看呀，就在那群小丑之中
A crawling shape intrude!
闯进了一个蠕动的动物！
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
那可怕的怪物浑身血红
The scenic solitude!
从舞台角落扭动而出！
It writhes!- it writhes!- with mortal pangs
它扭动！－扭动！－真是可怕
The mimes become its food,
小丑都成了它的美餐，
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
天使们呜咽，见爬虫毒牙
In human gore imbued.
正把淋淋人血侵染．
Out- out are the lights- out all!
熄灭－熄灭－熄灭灯光！
And, over each quivering form,
罩住每一个哆嗦的影子，
The curtain, a funeral pall,
大幕像一快裹尸布一样，
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
愤然落下像暴风昼雨，
While the angels, all pallid and wan,
这时脸色苍白的天使，
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
摘下面纱，起身，肯定
That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"
这是一幕叫做＜人＞的悲剧
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.
而主角色正是那征服者爬虫．

注解二:歌词中
:A DEAF DUMB EYELESS THRONG
－群失语失聪失明的人
LAUGHING FOREVER
     永远都在大笑
BUT SMILING NO MORE
     但不再微笑了
应是出自波德莱尔诗作<自惩者>的:
我是我心的吸血鬼,
---伟大的被弃者之一,
已被判处大笑不止,
却再不能微笑一回!


注解三:
<Dies Irae>中的音乐部分:
ONCE UPON A TIME
       从前
       THERE WAS A PRETTY FLY,
       这里有一只漂亮的苍蝇，
       HE HAD A PRETTY WIFE,
       他有一个漂亮的妻子，
       THIS PRETTY FLY,
       这只漂亮的苍蝇，
       BUT ONE DAY SHE FLEW AWAY,FLEW AWAY.
       但是有一天她飞走了.飞走了.
       SHE HAD TWO PRETTY CHILDREN
       她有两个漂亮的孩子
       BUT ONE NIGHT THESE TWO PRETTY CHILDREN
       但是有一天晚上这两个漂亮的孩子
       FLEW AWAY,FLEW AWAY,INTO THE SKY,INTO THE...
       飞走了,飞走了,飞进了天空,飞进了...
这段来自电影The Night of the Hunter，
http://www.douban.com/subject/1293582/?i=0
原文是FLEW AWAY,FLEW AWAY,INTO THE SKY,INTO THE MOON  

注解4:歌词中被反复重复的一句:"EACH MAN KILLS THE THING HE LOVES!"应来自于王尔德的<雷丁监狱之歌>:
Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
人人都杀心爱的人儿，
愿这话人人能听见。
有人是用难看的脸色，
有人是用蜜语和甜言，
怯懦的胆小鬼用亲吻，
勇敢的人才用刀剑！


注解5:
<Dies Irae>中的:
YET I WOULD LOSE NO STING
WOULD WISH NO TORTURE LESS;
THE MORE THAT ANGUISH RACKS
AND ROBED IN FIRES OF HELL
OR BRIGHT IN HEAVENLY SHINE,
IF IT BUT HERALD DEATH
THE VISION IS DIVINE.
来自于艾米丽勃朗特的<囚徒>(对,就是那部启发The girl who was death...的连续剧的同名作)中的最后一节:
The Prisoner
Emily Bronte. 1818-1848
STILL let my tyrants know, I am not doom'd to wear
Year after year in gloom and desolate despair;
A messenger of Hope comes every night to me,
And offers for short life, eternal liberty.
He comes with Western winds, with evening's wandering airs,
With that clear dusk of heaven that brings the thickest stars:
Winds take a pensive tone, and stars a tender fire,
And visions rise, and change, that kill me with desire.
Desire for nothing known in my maturer years,
When Joy grew mad with awe, at counting future tears:
When, if my spirit's sky was full of flashes warm,
I knew not whence they came, from sun or thunder-storm.
But first, a hush of peace--a soundless calm descends;
The struggle of distress and fierce impatience ends.
Mute music soothes my breast--unutter'd harmony
That I could never dream, till Earth was lost to me.
Then dawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals;
My outward sense is gone, my inward essence feels;
Its wings are almost free--its home, its harbour found,
Measuring the gulf, it stoops, and dares the final bound.
O dreadful is the check--intense the agony--
When the ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see;
When the pulse begins to throb--the brain to think again--
The soul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain.
Yet I would lose no sting, would wish no torture less;
The more that anguish racks, the earlier it will bless;
And robed in fires of hell, or bright with heavenly shine,
If it but herald Death, the vision is divine.
