Through the fiery caverns we sail

Virgil at my side my guide and master

Questing through the nine plains of hell
Questing through the nine plains of hell
Infernal wisdom shall fill my soul
Infernal wisdom shall fill my soul
Slowly now the days departing
Slowly now the days departing
The darkened air releases me
The darkened air releases me
Frightening visions of my journey
Frightening visions of my journey
Entrance me to limbo I'm not
Entrance me to limbo I'm not
Free
Free
Abandon all hope who enter here
Abandon all hope who entered here
Enter the gates, Charon awaits
Enter the gates, Charon awaits
Abandon all hope who enter here
Abandon all hope who entered here
For this is where all things are left behind
For this is where all things are left behind
Every doubt and every cowardice must die
Every doubt and every cowardice must die
Souls of rage and anger whipping in despair
Souls of rage and anger whipping in despair
The souls that wail on this plain pray for death
The souls that wail on this plain pray for death
Denial is the reason for their suffering
Denial is the reason for their suffering
Forever being stung by wasps and demons breath
Forever being stung by wasps and demons breath
The blood and tears that fall serve the maggots need
The blood and tears that fall serve the maggots need
Descention, thrusting to the second plain
Descension, thrusting to the second plain
Minos judges as his tail twines
Minos judges as his tail twins
Lustful thoughts and greed whip these wretched souls
Lustful thoughts and greed whip these wretched souls
A hurricane of hate mocks their helpless pleas
A hurricane of hate mocks their helpless pleas
Drifting now down deeper, into eternal flames
Drifting now down deeper, into eternal flames
Awake at the third circle, the cold and filthy rain
Awake at the third circle, the cold and filthy rain
Punished for their gluttony, languid for all time
Punished for their gluttony, languid for all time
The earth it stinks of corpses, damned for all time
The earth it stinks of corpses, damned for all time
The vicious beast Cerebus, three heads, blooded eyes
The vicious beast Cerebus, three heads, blooded eyes
Tears his talons through the air, all the skinners cry
Tears his heels through the air, all the skinners cry
Down, be still thy cursed wolf
Down, be still thy cursed wolf
The master scorns its name
The master scorns its name
Dive to the next plain
Dive to the next plain
The sullen and the vain
The sullen and the vain
Suffer for greed
Suffer for greed
The prodigal they bleed
The prodigal they bleed
For all eternity
For all eternity
Plutus holds the key
Plutus holds the key
Damned, the wrathful and the vain
Damned, the wrathful and the vain
Suffer the fifth plain
Suffer the fifth plain
Cross the river Styx

Heed your crucifix

The mudded corpses cry

Howling to the sky
Howling to the sky
Reach the other side

Open wide the gate
Open wide the gate
Enter the sixth circle of barren land and flames
Enter the sixth circle of barren land and flames
Passing through the gate of dis the furies scream her name
Passing through the gate of dis the furies scream her name
Belching forth in agony invoking her to rise
Belching forth in agony invoking her to rise
The spirit's rage consuming us the evil in their cries
The spirit's rage consuming us the evil in their cries
Queen of vipers, queen of serpents
Queen of vipers, queen of serpents
Cast their souls to stone
Cast their souls to stone
Spread to wealth of Gorgon's power
Spread to wealth of Gorgon's power
Medusa's inner soul
Medusa's inner soul
We're drawing ever closer to the seventh hell
We're drawing ever closer to the seventh hell
They violate their neighbors, their god and themselves
They violate their neighbors, their god and themselves
We're sailing slowly through the boiling river of blood
We're sailing slowly through the boiling river of blood
Immersed in the depths below souls scream in agony
Immersed in the depths below souls scream in agony
The twisted beast he laughs, he draws his arrow back
The twisted beast he laughs, he draws his arrow back
His sights on anyone exposing of their flesh
His sights on anyone exposing their flesh
He impales their hearts with ease
He impales their hearts with ease
And shrugs their piercing screams
And he shrugs their piercing screams
Pity is they'll never die
Pity is they'll never die
They'll suffer here eternally
They'll suffer here eternally
Imagine a place where every horror comes to life
Imagine a place where every horror comes to life
Where every torture is real and time stands still
Where every torture is real and time stands still
Eight fiery steps and we're closer to the end
Eight fiery steps and we're closer to the end
In a cold and timeless grave buried head first in shit
In a cold and timeless grave buried head first in shit
Praying all the while for a quick painless death
Praying all the while for a quick painless death
Scratching furiously at scabbed and oozing wounds
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
The traitors freeze for all eternity
