Abandon All Hope

1 Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
2 Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
3 Ché la diritta via era smarrita
4 Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
5 Esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
6 Che nel pensier rinova la paura!
7 Tant’ è amara che poco è più morte
8 Ma per trattar del ben ch’i’ vi trovai
9 Dirò de l’altre cose ch’i’ v’ho scorte
Dante: I cannot well repeat
How I got in
This
Forest
I had abandoned the true way
These beasts are haunting me
Restless they are
There's
No hope
That I will get to see the light
Wait now, I can see you
Pity me, what
Is it you are?
A shade or a man?
Virgil: Not a man now, but once I was
Mantuan by birth, poet by heart
We shall enter the realm of dead
Dante: Oh great sage but I am not that brave
Virgil: I will guide you, show no fear
Someone up there holds you dear
Heed all things you'll see and hear
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here
Dante: Languages diverse, horrible dialects
Accents of anger, words of agony
Forever in that air forever black, I hear it back now
All that suffering!
Virgil: Charon grant us passage
For someone sent above
Dante: We reached the other side
And we were not alone
The Damned: Here the men who lived 'fore God
Roam endlessly with those who were not called
Virgil: This limbo is my home
Dante: Master who are these souls whose dignity has kept
Their way separate from the rest?
Virgil: The honor of their name
Which echoes up above within your life
Gains Heaven’s grace!

NEXT
Confess now you’ll tell your tale, forget all about its scale
I don’t care about how grand, before Minos now you stand
Tell me what you did, did you slander, did you kill?
Maybe trading with a girl’s life
Forcing her upon your will?
Nothing ever escapes my sight
You will suffer, so is my will
SMELL
TASTE
HUMANS
LIFE
SOMEONE
HERE
DRAWING
BREATH
You who reach this house of pain, be careful on whom you trust
This gate behind may be wide, but don’t think you’re free to pass
Tell me what you did, did you slander, did you kill?
I shall sort you out to the circle that’s my will
But no, this soul is not dead
You breathe and cast a shade
You shouldn't be down here
How dare you challenge fate
Fate
Brings him here
Do not
Try to block his path
Our way
Has been willed above
Now stay
Don't ask anymore
We reached a place mute of all light
Like a sea beneath tempest, insane
The winds of their passion they suffer
Oh poor devils, by love, it gets tougher
No hope shall comfort them again
No hope for rest or lesser pain
None for pain
Lesser pain…
(Love we tasted and
Faced the consequence)
It breaks my heart to watch them so
My master, love is love
The lesser of all crimes to God
Is He not love for all?
Their vice of lust became their law
Away from the lord above (away from the lord above)
Some like Cleopatra and Tristan
Betrayed their body and their life
No!
I cannot watch them so
O you weary souls if One does not forbid it, speak with us
Why you stand together in the wind?
Love can quickly seize the heart, I saw him I was taken
His beauty held me strongly in such a way
With
Him
I remain
Love led the two of us unto one death
Caina waits for him who took our life
There is no greater pain than thinking back
Upon, in misery, a happy time
One day, to our delight, we read of Lancelot
How love him overcame, and something went aflame
And time and time again that reading led our eyes to meet
And lastly signified our own defeat
We read no more
What terrible pity
How can love demand and ask so much?
I cannot take this anymore
Can one survive this love?
Love can seize the heart
Can take you back can bring you forward
Love will give a meaning to life, lift the ones who know the time is right, When love is right

Three Throats
05:00
|
|||
Dante: I hear
New sufferings
New sufferers surrounding me on every side, wherever
I move or set my eyes
I'm in the third
CIRCLE
This hail
Clogs the air with
Putrid filth, heavy raining
Its measure and its kind are never changing, never fainting, SHIT SHIT!
Over the souls of those beneath
Is a rampaging, vicious beast
Three throats are barking
CERBERUS
Ciacco: You, who are conducted through this hell
I say to you please recall me
For you before I was unmade, were made
Dante: This anguish that chokes you, robs you from memory
I sadly can't tell who you are
Please tell me, what is your wrong?
Ciacco
Was my name
Florence like you, born and raised
Trapped here
In this rain
Gluttonous, poisonous, omnivorous
But this wretched soul is not alone
For all of these did the same thing wrong
Our sin became this mud
And I will speak no more
No
Virgil: Remember that when he quits talking
He’ll sink and he will never rise
Not until the blast of the one trumpet of the angels
Upon the coming of the hostile Judge
Dante: Ciacco
Your suffering weighs deep on me
So that I am forced to weep
Please tell me what end awaits
To our city
Ciacco: After long
Controversy
They’ll come to blood
And they will bleed
But then, within three suns, they too must fall
For men are men
Our nation's war
Goes through their veins
And from the land, goes through their core
And some are just, but also ignored
Here of the future, I'll speak no more
Prophecy: Words are those last to hear by the one who came
All the shades bathing here will suffer the same
Each one shall once again see his tomb once more
And once again take on flesh also take on form
They will hear what resounds then eternally
And after that, judgment day, their torments will grow
And from the sky, will purify when the trumpets blow

Pluto: Pape Satan
Pape Satan, Aleppe
Pape Satan
Pape Satan
Pape Satan, Aleppe
Pape Satan
Virgil: Don't let your fear defeat you
For whatever power he has
He cannot stray you from your path
He will not harm you, stay aside
Be silent, oh cursed wolf
Go let your rage feed on yourself!
His journey is willed on high, so fly away, gone!
Dante: Here saw I people, more than elsewhere, many
On one side and the other, this dark place was plenty
With great howls and rolling weights by force of chest
They suffered, they cried as they clashed with the rest
And so when they hit the other, their weights roll back
And crying, demanding, they shout at the dark
WHY DO YOU HOARD? said one, WHY DO YOU SQUANDER?
The other replying, and both red in anger
And turning their stone as no answer is found
They begin to wander the other way around
Crying and crying this their chant of scorn
I couldn't but feel like my own heart was torn
The Damned: Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
Dante: I've been trying to recognize
All those souls in the eastern side
Now their tonsures reveal they're clergymen
Shame on them!
The Damned: Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
All for gold
We are sold
The Damned: Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
Dante: And then we so descend towards a greater sorrow
For every star that rose when I first move is setting now
We crossed the circle to the other shore to reach a flow
A darkenend stream which gives birth to a swamp so here we come,
Styx

Virgil:
Son
Now see
The souls
Of those
Whom anger
Overcame
Beneath
The water
People are
Who sigh
And in the slime
They say
We sullen were
We bore the mist
Of sluggishness
And now we sink
Dante:
Master, I see
What you say
But who's that man that comes our way?
Virgil:
He's our passage
Phlegyas
In his boat we'll cross this marsh
Phlegyas:
YOU
ARE
CAUGHT!
FOUL SOUL
NOW
YOU
ARE
CAUGHT!
Virgil:
Phlegyas, Phlegyas
We're yours no longer
Than what it takes to cross
The swamp you're under
Filippo: Who are you come before your time?
Dante: I’ve come, but I won’t stay, but who are you?
Filippo: You see I'm just a poor soul weeping here
Dante: In weeping, grieving may you long remain
I know your name
you indignant dog!
Be off the boat!
I hope to see your spirit soused within this broth
And you dismembered by these sinners praised be God!
Virgil: My dear, oh my dear
You did so well
We now have finally reached the lower Hell

Virgil: See those graves aside?
Shut soon they will be, with their eyes
There Epicurus lies
And those who said body with soul dies
Epicureans:

Farinata: Fire fire
Evil purifier
Tuscan alive man
Are you kind enough to stay your steps?
I can see that you and I
More than words share
Dante: Oh Farinata, we do share a matter, war!
Your family hated mine
To waste us they tried and tried
And maybe we lost a fight
But never the end was nigh
And I tell you, no I Cry:
My home still stands where my heart belongs
Is that all?
Virgil: Sweet

Within this big

Three smaller circles

And they too are full of (Are the lowest forms of)
Spirits cursed (Sinners)
Learn now (Violents before)
How and why they are in constraint (Nd next for you both)
How they are arranged (Sinners)
Take heed and listen (That is the justice of) (Incontinence, Malice and)
Well (God) (Beasts)

Cult Of Blood
08:46
|
|||
Virgil: Run to the pass
Better to descend while he’s berserk
Fix your eyes below
Upon the valley dolorous
For now we're almost in its shores
The river of blood
Where all those who liked the taste now inside it boil
Blind cupidity irrational wrath
How you feast on the beast that is inside of us
Remember when humanity
Was locked up with the vanity
Of all those whom insanity
Pure violents made
Look!
There!
See?
Centaurs!
Chiron: You, up there!
What torment do you seek?
(Virgil: We shall reply only to Chiron)
But from that rift speak
Or taste my bow
(Your hasty will still makes you weak)
Have you seen
Just how he walks and breathes?
(He is alive and I protect him)
Just as he were alive
He's not due here
(For divine power made me guide)
I am he
The one you called it's me
(This man is set to visit your Hell)
What can I do for you?
What brought you here?
(A good companion we require)
I can see
I have the one you need
(Achilles tutor, mighty Chiron)
Nessus will serve you well
He will indeed
(We gladly march with such a squire!)
These are the tyrants
Whose god is a god of blood
They lament their ruthless crimes
They boil, with no hope to die
Yeah
Hello Alexander
Dyonisus
These two brought years of grief to
The isle of Sicily
The great comanding armies
The God letting it be
Look at him
Atila
The Hun
Receives
Here
Justice
Divine
The scourge upon the earth
His death took some time
(Harpies: You'll be our home
What are you waiting for?)
Suicide Bush: Why do you tear me?
Why do you break me off?
Have you no pity?
I was a man before a log
I tried to escape it
The sadness and the pain
I couldn't take it
Thought I could flee through death
And now I'm here
I can't escape
This wood and black leaves
I'm just a shade
(The Damned: Beneath the new moon, men looking at each other
And one of them's looking at you)
Dante: Is this soul you, Brunetto?
This both warms and breaks my heart
If it were for me you'd have your life
And retake your path to Heaven
But don't worry my dear father
'Cause you'll be eternal through me
I stand prepared for ill Fortune
I'll too live on, come what may
Beneath the new moon, men looking at each other
And one of them's looking at

Malebolge
15:08
|
|||
Dante: There's a place in Hell
A well with iron colour
All with stone it's made
It's known as Malebolge
Right in the middle
Of this evil field
Is an abyss
A broad and yawning pit
Centre of Malebolge
The belt, then, that extends
Between the pit and wall
Divides it into ten
Ditches of Malebolge
Ten valleys house of fraud
Thieves, liars, many more
Geryon landed on
First pouch of Malebolge
Venedico Caccianemico: I will speak unwillingly
But I recall thine accent
Brings me back some memories
And forces me to answer thee
Here thou find me naked
So that I fall humiliated
Under thousand strokes
Of all these devils, they know how to whip
It was me who led Ghisolabella to the marquis
Out of greed I let him do her anything he wanted to
Virgil: Before we leave look at that mighty one
Who does not seem to shed a tear
Still looks a royal man
Greek Jason
With polished words he tricked Hipsypyle
And left her and their child
Dante: Loathly place the one we've come to see
It's hard to breathe above this putrid filth
There're ones who fight others try to flee
But there's one there I do have memory of
Alessio: Why you stare with such intensity?
Dante: All that filth hides not your identity,
Alessio de Lucca!
Alessio: Yes I've drowned because of flatteries
Of them my tongue
Was not ever short of
Now you find me as this horrid being
Does it look like
Alessio de Lucca?
NO
Dante: Simon Magus
His sad disciples
How you dare to prostitute
Godly things for things of gold
Time has come
The trumpet's gone
You are seeds of Malebolge
If these flames won't fill you up with shame
Don't pray, I will!
Nicholas
I'm glad to see you
Sorry that I'm not your fellow
Boniface will soon be here too
Really hope sooner than later
How much gold our lord was asking
How much silver he demanded
How you dare to say his words
I
Just
Hope
Your
Bones burn!
(The Damned: Backwards, going backwards)
I weep when I see them
It's me who I see walking
Was I so foolish then
To think one knows what's coming
Eryplus, Michael Scott
See Guido, see Asdente
They claimed to see beyond
Now tear and feel repentance
Virgil: Do you think Malacoda
I would come this far
If I had not good fortune
And the will of God?
Save your rage, all I ask is
A pathway through here
Dear poet, you can come back now
The next bridge is near
Demon: Let's go!
Dante: Master, you sure about this?
Demon: March on!
Dante: Do we need company?
Demon: Next in line!
Dante: Look how that sinner's skinned
Demon: Hear that?
Dante: They smile and grind their teeth
Demon: Hear their cries?
Dante: I hear them whisper things
Demon: You will
Dante: I think we've been deceived
Demon: Be next
Dante: Sinner escaped, it's us to blame,
Let's go!
Just take a look at that
Marching low steps, weeping and defeatd
I try to figure where that pain is seeded
They wear lead cloaks I kinda hear it
Friar: I can hear my roots on that
A Florentine just passed nearby
But wait a minute he's far too strong
What is wrong?
Is he alive?
Dante: You stay right there, I know you friar
I'm alive and I can recall
But most of all
I gotta say that now the Church
Is almost great with you in Malebolge
Friar: There's no reason
To talk with these on
But at least we're not under the marching
If you teach how the One after dies
Let me tell you
You end up on the floor crucified
(The Damned: Serpents curse)
Vani Fucci: Hey god? How about this?
(Flowing choking biting)
F*ck you, I'm Vanni Fucci!
(Change, transform)
You think I'm a beast, you're right
About that, at least
(You are not anymore)
Do you really think you can break me?
(Split and burn)
Send your snakes
Out against me
You don't scare me
I am me
(Join, from ashes reborn)
You won't change
What's inside
And yes oh yes
I was a thief
(Steal, you'll earn)
Send your centaur
Fly your dragon
You won't blind me
With their fashion
(Your part in this swarm)
I don't fear you
It's not defeat
Not until the day
We meet!
Dante: From that moment on those sepents were my friends as
For one of them coiled itself around his neck
And more came to grab his neighbours so had him
His words couldn't save him, and so he was decked
Virgil: Let's leave those sepents now
We know that they deserve each other
The flames will tell you how
They're lighting up this eighth pit
The Damned: Within the flame
We experience our hell
As we gave ill counsel
To the ones dared to trust us
Ulysses: Never
Never was I one to settle, down
The pleasure of sunrise and breeze of the sea
Treasure, new worlds, if we stand together, again
Crossing
Hercules gates by Seville
Brothers I crossed (How could it be)
Thousands of dangers with
It's time to go on
Experience what lies beyond
You're born for this
For knowledge, for worth, to explore
Dante: Bodies
Just half of them really
Walking split
In the pit
It never ends
Falling
Of the sword
The demon cuts, dismembers
What has been healed before
Sowers
Of dischord
Disgusting view now you
Are split in two
Let's head out
This ninth abyss
I can hear the screams
Of our next stop
40 Quando noi fummo sor l’ultima chiostra
41 di Malebolge, sì che i suoi conversi
42 potean parere a la veduta nostra
43 lamenti saettaron me diversi
44 che di pietà ferrati avean li strali
45 ond’ io li orecchi con le man copersi
46 Qual dolor fora, se de li spedali
47 di Valdichiana tra ’l luglio e ’l settembre
48 e di Maremma e di Sardigna i mali
49 fossero in una fossa tutti ’nsembre
50 tal era quivi, e tal puzzo n’usciva
51 qual suol venir de le marcite membre
52 Noi discendemmo in su l’ultima riva
53 del lungo scoglio, pur da man sinistra
54 e allor fu la mia vista più viva
55 giù ver’ lo fondo, la ’ve la ministra
56 de l’alto Sire infallibil giustizia
57 punisce i falsador che qui registra
58 Non credo ch’a veder maggior tristizia
59 fosse in Egina il popol tutto infermo
60 quando fu l’aere sì pien di malizia
61 che li animali, infino al picciol vermo
62 cascaron tutti, e poi le genti antiche
63 secondo che i poeti hanno per fermo
64 si ristorar di seme di formiche
65 ch’era a veder per quella oscura valle
66 languir li spirti per diverse biche
Dante: Master why see I two towers?
There's a castle here inside?
Virgil: You rush to penetrate the darkness
They're giants that's why they're so wide
Dante: I'm glad they are in chains, these giants
Now that we're here I'm mortified
Virgil: Come now don't be scared I'll hold you
Antaeus will set us down
Nimrod: Raphel mai amecche zabi almi!
Raphel mai amecche zabi almi!
Raphel mai amecche zabi almi!

Dante & Virgil: Now we've reached the darkest dark
Now we're in the centre
Now we walk on frozen glass
This will end our venture
Bocca: Who are you who trample me?
Is this further vengeance?
Dante: And who are you so roughly speak?
Tell me and help your sentence
Bocca: Whatever you offer I don't care
Keep your words, be off your way
(The Damned: Bocca! Quiet!)
Dante: You will have to name yourself
Or I'll make sure to clear your head!
So that's why you've been trying to hide
(Too bad!)
Oh I very well know who you were
(Bocca!)
I have no words to share with you
(Traitor!)
Let's go!
What is that sage, two joint frozen shades?
One silenced, other chewing his head
Oh you who show, with such bestial sign
All your hatred for this tainted one
Tell me your cause, if I see it fair,
I shall repay you with fame up on Earth
Count Ugolino: Count Ugolino once I was
And this Ruggieri, a Christian man
In Hunger Tower, we were trapped
My poor four children, how they cried
Days passed but not their pain
Tower earned its name
I had to watch them die
And their bodies
Were claimed by mine
Were claimed by mine!
Children: Father why you cry?
Why're we here? Are we alone? What is gonna happen?
Father don't you cry
We belong to you
Please take our flesh and end it
Father we will die
We love you, we are in pain
Why will you not help me?
Dante: All these frozen tears
Master tell me how
This wind
Is blowing
Virgil: You're about to see
SATAN SATAN
You will find him busy
RED FACE RED FACE
Masticating Judas
BROWN FACE BROWN FACE
