Dante's Inferno |
| Through the fiery caverns we sail |
| Virgil at my side my guide and master |
| Questing through the nine plains of hell |
| Infernal wisdom shall fill my soul |
| Slowly now the days departing |
| The darkened air releases me Frightening visions of my journey |
| Entrance me to limbo I’m not |
| Free |
| Abandon all hope who enter here |
| Enter the gates, charon awaits |
| Abandon all hope who enter here |
| For this is where all things are left behind |
| Every doubt and every cowardice must die |
| Souls of rage and anger whipping in despair |
| The souls that wail on this plain pray for death |
| Denial is the reason for their suffering |
| Forever being stung by wasps and demons breath |
| The blood and tears that fall serve the maggots need |
| Descention, thrusting to the second plain |
| Minos judges as his tail twines |
| Lustful thoughts and greed whip these wretched souls |
| A hurricane of hate mocks their helpless pleas |
| Drifting now down deeper, into eternal flames |
| Awake at the third circle, the cold and filthy rain |
| Punished for their gluttony, languid for all time |
| The earth it stinks of corpses, damned for all time |
| The vicious beast cerebus, three heads, blooded eyes |
| Tears his talons through the air, all the skinners cry |
| Down, be still thy cursed wolf |
| The master scorns its name |
| Dive to the next plain |
| The sullen and the vain |
| Suffer for greed |
| The prodigal they bleed |
| For all eternity |
| Plutus holds the key |
| Damned, the wrathful and the vain |
| Suffer the fifth plain |
| Cross the river styx |
| Heed your crucifix |
| The mudded corpses cry |
| Howling to the sky |
| Reach the other side |
| Open wide the gate |
| Enter the sixth circle of barren land and flames |
| Passing through the gate of dis the furies scream her name |
| Belching forth in agony invoking her to rise |
| The spirit’s rage consuming us the evil in their cries |
| Queen of vipers, queen of serpents |
| Cast their souls to stone |
| Spread to wealth of gorgon’s power |
| Medusa’s inner soul |
| We’re drawing ever closer to the seventh hell |
| They violate their neighbors, their god and themselves |
| We’re sailing slowly through the boiling river of blood |
| Immersed in the depths below souls scream in agony |
| The twisted beast he laughs, he draws his arrow back |
| His sights on anyone exposing of their flesh |
| He impales their hearts with ease |
| And shrugs their piercing screams |
| Pity is they’ll never die |
| They’ll suffer here eternally |
| Imagine a place where every horror comes to life |
| Where every torture is real and time stands still |
| Eight fiery steps and we’re closer to the end |
| In a cold and timeless grave buried head first in shit |
| Praying all the while for a quick &painless death |
| Scratching furiously at scabbed and oozing wounds |
| Lucifer… angel of light |
| Cast below god of ice |
| Ruling hell unholy trinity |
| The traitors freeze for all eternity |
| Lucifer… betrayer of god |
| Tormentor ruthless and cold |
| Judas’screaming here in agony |
| The traitors freeze for all eternity |
