|
| [00:13.96] |
|
| [00:14.93] |
Through the fiery caverns we sail |
| [00:22.00] |
Virgil at my side my guide and master |
| [00:28.82] |
Questing through the nine plains of hell |
| [00:35.80] |
Infernal wisdom shall fill my soul |
| [00:42.72] |
Slowly now the days departing |
| [00:49.72] |
The darkened air releases me |
| [00:56.76] |
Frightening visions of my journey |
| [01:03.67] |
Entrance me to limbo I'm not Free |
| [01:11.41] |
|
| [01:38.98] |
Abandon all hope who enter here |
| [01:45.44] |
Enter the gates, Charon awaits |
| [01:50.94] |
|
| [02:23.79] |
Abandon all hope who enter here |
| [02:28.32] |
For this is where all things are left behind |
| [02:32.83] |
Every doubt and every cowardice must die |
| [02:37.38] |
Souls of rage and anger whipping in despair |
| [02:41.94] |
|
| [02:46.71] |
The souls that wail on this plain pray for death |
| [02:51.23] |
Denial is the reason for their suffering |
| [02:55.81] |
Forever being stung by wasps and demons breath |
| [03:00.33] |
The blood and tears that fall serve the maggots need |
| [03:05.20] |
|
| [03:29.12] |
Descention, thrusting to the second plain |
| [03:33.79] |
Minos judges as his tail twines |
| [03:38.26] |
Lustful thoughts and greed whip these wretched souls |
| [03:42.66] |
A hurricane of hate mocks their helpless pleas |
| [03:47.76] |
|
| [05:31.02] |
Drifting now down deeper, into eternal flames |
| [05:38.67] |
Awake at the third circle, the cold and filthy rain |
| [05:47.06] |
Punished for their gluttony, languid for all time |
| [05:55.32] |
The earth it stinks of corpses, damned for all time |
| [06:02.06] |
The vicious beast Cerebus, three heads, blooded eyes |
| [06:09.57] |
Tears his talons through the air, all the skinners cry |
| [06:17.37] |
all the skinners cry |
| [06:21.58] |
|
| [07:31.51] |
Down, be still thy cursed wolf |
| [07:34.45] |
The master scorns its name |
| [07:36.88] |
Dive to the next plain |
| [07:39.04] |
The sullen and the vain |
| [07:41.45] |
Suffer for greed |
| [07:43.52] |
The prodigal they bleed |
| [07:45.57] |
For all eternity |
| [07:47.43] |
Plutus holds the key |
| [07:50.75] |
|
| [08:06.51] |
Damned, the wrathful and the vain |
| [08:09.70] |
Suffer the fifth plain |
| [08:11.94] |
Cross the river Styx |
| [08:14.26] |
Heed your crucifix |
| [08:16.29] |
The mudded corpses cry |
| [08:18.47] |
Howling to the sky |
| [08:20.60] |
Reach the other side |
| [08:22.76] |
Open wide the gate |
| [08:26.02] |
|
| [09:13.87] |
Enter the sixth circle of barren land and flames |
| [09:17.22] |
Passing through the gate of dis the furies scream her name |
| [09:21.11] |
Belching forth in agony invoking her to rise |
| [09:24.68] |
The spirit's rage consuming us the evil in their cries |
| [09:28.51] |
Queen of vipers, queen of serpents |
| [09:32.17] |
Cast their souls to stone |
| [09:35.91] |
Spread to wealth of Gorgon's power |
| [09:39.78] |
Medusa's inner soul |
| [09:42.40] |
|
| [11:47.88] |
We're drawing ever closer to the seventh hell |
| [11:54.49] |
They violate their neighbors, their god and themselves |
| [11:58.72] |
We're sailing slowly through the boiling river of blood |
| [12:09.94] |
Immersed in the depths below souls scream in agony |
| [12:19.60] |
The twisted beast he laughs, he draws his arrow back |
| [12:24.06] |
His sights on anyone exposing of their flesh |
| [12:31.30] |
He impales their hearts with ease |
| [12:34.80] |
And shrugs their piercing screams |
| [12:38.52] |
Pity is they'll never die |
| [12:41.70] |
They'll suffer here eternally |
| [12:46.56] |
|
| [13:56.44] |
Imagine a place where every horror comes to life |
| [14:00.88] |
Where every torture is real and time stands still |
| [14:06.60] |
Eight fiery steps and we're closer to the end |
| [14:14.28] |
|
| [14:15.66] |
In a cold and timeless grave buried head first in shit |
| [14:21.08] |
Praying all the while for a quick & painless death |
| [14:26.69] |
Scratching furiously at scabbed and oozing wounds |
| [14:32.72] |
|
| [14:35.61] |
Lucifer ... angel of light |
| [14:41.27] |
Cast below god of ice |
| [14:46.94] |
Ruling hell unholy trinity |
| [14:49.86] |
The traitors freeze for all eternity |
| [14:52.57] |
Lucifer ... betrayer of god |
| [14:58.41] |
Tormentor ruthless and cold |
| [15:03.72] |
Judas' screaming here in agony |
| [15:07.07] |
The traitors freeze for all eternity |
