There′s a place in Hell

A well with iron colour

All with stone it's madeIt′s known as Malebolge

Right in the middle

Of this evil field

Is an abyss

A broad and yawning pit

Centre of Malebolge

The belt, then, that extends

Between the pit and wall

Divides it into ten

Ditches of Malebolge

Ten valleys house of fraud

Thieves, liars, many more

Geryon landed on

First pouch of Malebolge

I will speak unwillingly

But I recall thine accent

Brings me back some memories

And forces me to answer thee

Here thou find me naked

So that I fall humiliated

Under thousand strokes

Of all these devils, they know how to whip

It was me who led Ghisolabella to the marquis

Out of greed I let him do her anything he wanted to

Before we leave look at that mighty one

Who does not seem to shed a tear

Still looks a royal man

Greek Jason

With polished words he tricked Hipsypyle

And left her and their child

Loathly place the one we've come to see

It's hard to breathe above this putrid filth

There′re ones who fight others try to flee

But there′s one there I do have memory of

Why you stare with such intensity?

All that filth hides not your identity,

Alessio de Lucca!

Yes I've drowned because of flatteries

Of them my tongue

Was not ever short of

Now you find me as this horrid being

Does it look like

Alessio de Lucca?

NO

Simon Magus

His sad disciples

How you dare to prostitute

Godly things for things of gold

Time has come

The trumpet′s gone

You are seeds of Malebolge

If these flames won't fill you up with shame

Don′t pray, I will!

Nicholas

I'm glad to see you

Sorry that I′m not your fellow

Boniface will soon be here too

Really hope sooner than later

How much gold our lord was asking

How much silver he demanded

How you dare to say his words

I

Just

Hope

Your

Bones burn!

(Backwards, going backwards)

I weep when I see them

It's me who I see walking

Was I so foolish then

To think one knows what's coming

Eryplus, Michael Scott

See Guido, see Asdente

They claimed to see beyond

Now tear and feel repentance

Do you think Malacoda

I would come this far

If I had not good fortune

And the will of God?

Save your rage, all I ask is

A pathway through here

Dear poet, you can come back now

The next bridge is near

Let′s go!

Master, you sure about this?

March on!

Do we need company?

Next in line!

Look how that sinner′s skinned

Hear that?

They smile and grind their teeth

Hear their cries?

I hear them whisper things

You will

I think we've been deceived

Be next

Sinner escaped, it′s us to blame, let's go!

Just take a look at that

Marching low steps, weeping and defeatd

I try to figure where that pain is seeded

They wear lead cloaks I kinda hear it

I can hear my roots on that

A Florentine just passed nearby

But wait a minute he′s far too strong

What is wrong?

Is he alive?

You stay right there, I know you friar

I'm alive and I can recall

But most of all

I gotta say that now the Church

Is almost great with you in Malebolge

There′s no reason

To talk with these on

But at least we're not under the marching

If you teach how the One after dies

Let me tell you

You end up on the floor crucified

(Serpents curse)

Hey god? How about this?

(Flowing choking biting)

F*ck you, I'm Vanni Fucci!

(Change, transform)

You think I′m a beast, you′re right

About that, at least

(You are not anymore)

Do you really think you can break me?

(Split and burn)

Send your snakes

Out against me

You don't scare me

I am me

(Join, from ashes reborn)

You won′t change

What's inside

And yes oh yes

I was a thief

(Steal, you′ll earn)

Send your centaur

Fly your dragon

You won't blind me

With their fashion

(Your part in this swarm)

I don′t fear you

It's not defeat

Not until the day

We meet!

From that moment on those sepents were my friends as

For one of them coiled itself around his neck

And more came to grab his neighbours so had him

His words couldn't save him, and so he was decked

Let′s leave those sepents now

We know that they deserve each other

The flames will tell you how

They′re lighting up this eighth pit

Within the flame

We experience our hell

As we gave ill counsel

To the ones dared to trust us

Never

Never was I one to settle, down

The pleasure of sunrise and breeze of the sea

Treasure, new worlds, if we stand together, again

Crossing

Hercules gates by Seville

Brothers I crossed (How could it be)

Thousands of dangers with

It's time to go on

Experience what lies beyond

You′re born for this

For knowledge, for worth, to explore

Bodies

Just half of them really

Walking split

In the pit

It never ends

Falling

Of the sword

The demon cuts, dismembers

What has been healed before

Sowers

Of dischord

Disgusting view now you

Are split in two

Let's head out

This ninth abyss

I can hear the screams

Of our next stop

40 Quando noi fummo sor l′ultima chiostra

41 di Malebolge, sì che i suoi conversi

42 potean parere a la veduta nostra

43 lamenti saettaron me diversi

44 che di pietà ferrati avean li strali

45 ond' io li orecchi con le man copersi

46 Qual dolor fora, se de li spedali

47 di Valdichiana tra ′l luglio e 'l settembre

48 e di Maremma e di Sardigna i mali

49 fossero in una fossa tutti 'nsembre

50 tal era quivi, e tal puzzo n′usciva

51 qual suol venir de le marcite membre

52 Noi discendemmo in su l′ultima riva

53 del lungo scoglio, pur da man sinistra

54 e allor fu la mia vista più viva

55 giù ver' lo fondo, la ′ve la ministra

56 de l'alto Sire infallibil giustizia

57 punisce i falsador che qui registra

58 Non credo ch′a veder maggior tristizia

59 fosse in Egina il popol tutto infermo

60 quando fu l'aere sì pien di malizia

61 che li animali, infino al picciol vermo

62 cascaron tutti, e poi le genti antiche

63 secondo che i poeti hanno per fermo

64 si ristorar di seme di formiche

65 ch′era a veder per quella oscura valle

66 languir li spirti per diverse biche

Master why see I two towers?

There's a castle here inside?

You rush to penetrate the darkness

They're giants that′s why they′re so wide

I'm glad they are in chains, these giants

Now that we′re here I'm mortified

Come now don′t be scared I'll hold you

Antaeus will set us down

Raphel mai amecche zabi almi!

Raphel mai amecche zabi almi!

Raphel mai amecche zabi almi!
