Testo Inferno

"Virgil, are you a shade or a man? Shade am I, that once was man" [from Dante's Inferno] Vergelius (Vergelius be my guide) will guide you (You all ) beyond the gates of Hell You'll join eternal darkness You'll see the souls that died in sin (Like yourself) your eyes will burn eternally "Virgil, are you a shade or a man?" [from Dante's Inferno] Show me the place where I'll be damned I have never seen Hell Vergelius leads me hand in hand stumbling step by step Down to the place where I'll be damned Charon ferries souls on lurid waters that darken on the way for those who fell from grace "The gates of Hell are open wide I hear the spirits' cry in the dawnless everlasting night Justice divine (This is the place of doom) has weigh'd the doom is clear (Sighs and wailings loud) all hope renounce ye lost who enter here" [from Dante's Inferno] "Virgil, embark with me on Charon's boat" [from Dante's Inferno] Show me the place where I'll be damned I have never seen Hell Vergelius leads me hand in hand stumbling step by step Down to the place where I'll be damned Charon ferries souls on lurid waters that darken on the way for those who fell from grace
