Lyrics Cantos X-XIII: the City of Dis and Nether Hell - Homerik

The jarring bell of the cathedral of Dis
Beckons the lost souls of Hell to congregate
They are the heretics
Pulled together to celebrate
In a grim mass
"This unholy place
Belongs to those who sing praise
To the dark one as their lord," said Virgil
"Damned blasphemers!
They worship a false god!"
The bell tolled once more
Demons immolated
As the doors to the cathedral groaned opened
Torches set on the interior columns
Lit the cavernous great hall

Bow to your unholy majesty
To the pagan king, our pagan king of Heresy
Lord of Imps and sacrilege decree
To our pagan king, our pagan king of Heresy
Deck the halls with sins of our creed
In the halls of zealots, we present our courtesy
In the temple of the serpentine
To the pagan king, our pagan king of Heresy

Here, in the depths of your spiraling hell
Is the sound of the nine ton bell
And it echoes through these halls of old
Like a beacon for the blackest soul
Come follow me
Come follow me
Come follow me, follow me children
Come follow me
Come follow me
Come follow me, follow me children
Come follow me
Come follow me
Come follow me, follow me children
Come follow me
Desecrated books of God
Defiled by tongues of blasphemous fools
Desecrated books of God
Defiled by tongues of blasphemous fools
Why don't you see
That I am so divine
I swear to thee
That I am your demise

Bow to your unholy majesty
To the pagan king, our pagan king of Heresy
Lord of Imps and sacrilege decree
To our pagan king, our pagan king of Heresy
Deck the halls with sins of our creed
In the halls of zealots, we present our courtesy
In the temple of the serpentine
To the pagan king, our pagan king of Heresy

The heretics quickened their pace
The green light from their torches flickered
As they entered a giant rotunda
It had multiple exits over a massive basin
Boiling with the blood of suffering souls
It was covered by the metal grating
They'd been walking over
Again, they heard the roar reverberate all around them
"Having fun?"

Insanity
Murder! The fury of war will
Consume tonight
A rage so deep it plunders
The mind as I crush under
Hoof's might
Violence! The blood of a crippled
Force of hate
It will break the mold of insanity
Pray for my axe is
About to smite

Crippled by
The bleeding scars
We left behind
Live your days
Intemperate one
In boiling blood

The carnage of war
Is leaving us deprived
Fatally condemning
The future of souls
Through actions we behold
Chopping up the weak
And killing off the meek
Vanishing the seeds
Of prized legacies
For sins we blame them for

Wary are those who walk through the woods of Hell
For they do not drink water
They drink blood
"Wandering in a world of sorrow
Kin dance for no tomorrow
Tormented by the horse you rode in on
'A great folly of man,' were words at the dawn
On the first day of the last
A precipice — now long past."

All the screams that can be heard
Across unholy pastures of Dis
A damning sound that resonates
Through all your afflictions
No one can endure this Hell
Even the one who commands it
By woe, hate and blood we
Live in pain

Limbo, lust and gluttony
Greed, wrath and heresy
Violence, fraud and treachery
Abandon all hope ye who
Enters here
Enters here
Enters here
