paroles de chanson Cantos XXXII-XXXIII: a Winter of Souls (The Treacherous) - Homerik

"It's so c-c-cold here..."
Missing his trusty companion
Dante felt alone
Vulnerable
A statue of the fallen angel
Lay on the shore of Lake Cocytus
An ice storm raged behind it
It clouded the center
Outside, encased in the sea ice
Were more frozen spirits
Thrashing winds exposed them
To varying degrees

"My name is Michael,"
Replied the archangel
"Leave this place, Dante
Lucifer's might is more powerful
Than any force in the Inferno."
"Where's Virgil?" Dante shouted into the roaring winds
"Where's Virgil?!
"Your friend is fine," Answered the good angel
"He will be here soon
He called upon me to help you out of this
Deep danger."
"Leave this place!"
Satan, Lord of the Underworld
The blackest soul

Evil lies in disguise
To corrupt mankind
Of the love that binds together
Partners in crime

Hear my plea!
Cursed thee!
Woe is me!
Cold is thy greatest sin of treachery

Like he, angel from God's side
Fallen due to pride
Bound to this icy lair
Damned here for betrayal!

Why did you
Sell your soul?
Played the part
Of a fool
Now you bathe in frozen

Pools! Pools! (Devil, Satan)
Pools! Pools! (Devil, Satan)
Approaching with the archangel
Dante saw Lucifer what he truly was
A monstrosity
Pools! Pools! (Devil, Satan)
Pools! Pools! (Devil, Satan)
"Dearest Almighty..." Michael whispered
"What could give birth to such a thing?"
Satan! Satan! (Devil, Satan)
Will rise! (Devil, Satan)
Here comes the "God" of the Underworld
Confined to Cocytus!

Damn you
Damn Jehovah!
I am Judas!
Damn you
Damn Jehovah!
I am Brutus!
Damn you
Damn Jehovah!
I am Cassius!
Damn you
Damn Jehovah!
I am Satan!

Evil will reign
In the Inferno
Through winters of souls
Near fire and brimstone

Go
To Hell!
To Hell
You belong!
Go
To Hell!
To Hell
You belong!
Go
To Hell!
To Hell
You belong!
Go
To Hell!
To Hell
You belong!
In Hell!
You belong!

Fly swiftly
Follow your destiny
Fly swiftly
Follow your destiny
"Is this the secret to your power?"
Said Michael
"What happens then, when I rip it out?"
He broke the devil's grip
And cast his lance
Straight into Lucifer's heart
Fly swiftly
Follow your destiny
Fly swiftly
Follow your destiny

Satan wailed
And then shattered
Like glass
The shards of his heart
Scattered over the icy lake
All but one fell into the breaking waters
It froze where the devil once sat
The blizzard ceased
One shard fell by Dante's knees
The souls of treachery began to sing
A lamenting song

Archangel
Archangel
Satan, Lord Satan
They cried at the death of their overlord
Tears freezing down their cheeks
"The death of Lucifer
What will this mean?" Dante asked
Dante picked up the shard
"What is the Philosopher's Stone?
How can Satan die?" he wondered
"It is a tool of unimaginable power
Lucifer was a demigod
And before that an archangel
The source says
The bearer of the Philosopher's Stone
Would wield the power of immortality
Swallow the light
Come the day of wrath
"It is an elixir of life. (The day of wrath)
Nobody knows how he got it, (The day of wrath)
But it is known to be a tool of Chaos."
Praise be to God
"It is a sad day
To witness the death
Of a primordial..."
Until the end
Until the end
