Dante's Inferno

«Per mi si va ne la citta dolente
Per me si va ne l’etterno dolore
Per me si va tra la perduta gente.»
Threatening and cold
A poem for the underworld
Where shadows walk
Beyond redemption
Dante’s Inferno
Dante’s Inferno
Minos wraps his serpent
Tail around himself
To mark a sinner’s level
His prison cell
The famous poet Dante
Is passing through the gates
The only living being
In this accursed place
Threatening and cold
A poem for the underworld
Where shadows walk
Beyond redemption
Dante’s Inferno
Dante’s Inferno
The greedy pay the price
Their wealth is cursed
The wrathful fight each other
Covered with slimy mud
The flames are burning heretics
And for the violent ones
Red blood is boiling
As thieves will turn to vipers
And vipers will turn to thieves
Ninth, the lower plain
Who could ever guess?
It is a frozen lake!
An angel in his past, a fallen one
Right on the spot he crashed
For aeons is lying down
