| Landscapes below, besmeared with angels blood
|
| And rivers filled with tears from grim tortuer acts;
|
| That dwells within the cold dungeon chambers
|
| The agony of damned souls frozen the dim night
|
| What can better than to dwell here, driven out of bliss
|
| In this abhorred deep to utter woe
|
| Where the inextinguishable flames must forever burn
|
| Without hope or end…
|
| As a great furnace flamed, yet from those flames
|
| No light, but darkness visible…
|
| A fire so high; |
| mighty and as a scythe sears the sky…
|
| Brings scars in the face of god
|
| They viewed the vast immeasurable abyss
|
| Outrageous as sea, dark, wasteful, wild
|
| Up from the bottom turned by furious and surging winds;
|
| As mountains to assault heavens height
|
| In the sign of Hell, the blood of angels enslaved
|
| In the sign of the horned, where peace never can dwell
|
| They viewed the vast immeasurable abyss
|
| Outrageous as sea, dark, wasteful, wild
|
| Up from the bottom turned by furious and surging winds;
|
| As mountains to assault heavens height
|
| «The gate is open and I command my disciples
|
| To come forth from the pits of hell, and to grasp the kingdom
|
| Of god with the infernal powers of darkness… "
|
| So spake the voice, and clouds began to darken the hills
|
| And smoke to roll in sudky wreaths, reluctant flames;
|
| The sign of wrath awakened…
|
| Before the gate there sat on each side two formidable shapes in
|
| The gloom, two hounds of hell; |
| with wide ceberean jaws
|
| The sign of wrath awaked… |
