Текст песни Spiritual Exercises - Dan Merritt

The fifth exercise is a meditation on Hell
It contains, after the preparatory prayer and two preludes
Five points and a colloquy
The first prelude, the composition of place
Here it will be to see in imagination
The length, breadth, and depth of Hell
To see with my own eyes
The huge fires and the souls within the bodies full of fire
I will hear the wailing, the shrieking, the cries
And the blasphemies against our Lord and all his saints
I will perceive the smoke, the sulfur, the filth
And the rotting things
I will taste the bitter flavors of Hell:
Tears, sadness, and the worm of conscience
I will feel how the flames touch the souls and burn them
Only the bored have need of illusion
Beautiful eyes, always a little filled with tears

The more we keep ourselves alone and secluded
The more fit do we make ourselves
To approach and attain to our Creator and Lord
Spiritual exercises
To overcome oneself and to order one's life
Fear and trembling
Sickness unto death
Stranger
Nothingness
Sickness
Loneliness
Dread
Nausea
No way out
I wake screaming
Seven works of mercy
Seven acts of mercy
