lyrics

The great beast Geryon is our way down
Into a place, place in Hell called Malebolge
Divided in ten circles of decreasing width
Corralled in narrow trenches the color of rust
Panders and seducers can not hide
Tormented and whipped by cruel demons
Endless scourge, the whip bites again and again
‘Nother pouch, new sinners dipped in excrement
Silver-tongued flatterers thrown into their own shit
Who are you? Have we met? I can not tell
Feces masks, features hid, obscured by filth
Lovers lies, caked in flies, try to scratch off
But cannot, so they rot in the night soil
Seen enough, smelled enough, we move on
Never stray, don’t delay, or forever stay
Never stray, don’t delay, or forever pay
Never stray, don’t delay, or forever stay
So we come to another pouch, below us I see naught but black, pitch black boiling thick
And there movement below the muck, when a great black demon happens upon us
Malacoda his name, leader of the Malebranche, my guide quells the savage brute
Ten demons are to be our guides, they fight amongst themselves, falling into pitch, leaving us free
