(With immense sorrow)

I don’t know if you’ve read Dante Alighieri,
I don’t know what books you’ve read,
But I learned that you, sister,
Hell itself you lived,
Ever since you gave love to the devil.
That was your path in this life
With demons by their side, no one would have a future.
You will rest in peace today in Paradise 
For the land of wicked Cains is.
There are so few Abelli left on earth,
That hands as clean as the sun have,
But the world of Cains mocks us,
With vampire teeth and a burning soul!
Today, all the eyes of the world shed tears,
In their tears your new face speaks…
Your face that shone among the flowers today,
And the murderer’s filthy crawling face killed
