I tried my hand at translating the flavor text, though I'm by no means fluent so anyone can correct/point out mistakes if they find them.

The dew/tears bit is because  露 can mean both words, I'm assuming this is in reference to Carmilla's interlude story about one of her victims escaping if they're able to survive.

The last line starting from the last "iron maiden/ 鉄の棺" (lit translation would be "iron coffin") threw me off but I think the iron maiden referenced throughout is a metaphor for Carmilla herself. The last stanza is about Carmilla's death in her tower and how her crimes against humanity (utilizing iron maidens & other torture) stopped as her life did.

主 means lord in most cases but I figured "countess" would be a more straightforward approach to making the metaphor clear, if my interpretation is as intended.

TLDR fun wordplay about murder. be sure to show your appreciation to your local self depracating vampire today.
