Blackened night stretches out before me Blistered feet and blackened hands reach for nothing I gaze upon a dark forest and pass through the seven My entry to hell, my pittance to the boatman Now I am lost with no path to find All future fades away as I reach toward the black What lies ahead is more than death, but less than life There will be no crusade for me, No longer speak my name
3.
Board upon this ship to hell, a river to cleanse me of my sins Charon shall carry my burden well, that which has been willed against The line of souls stretches to eternity Their faceless bodies purged of remorse There is no time for that anymore Cliffs ascend above me, with scaled eyes peering down Dripping anticipation, longing to tear me apart My sins are my own and soon I will pay I depart from the shores of Acheron There is no hope, it has been abandoned.
4.
Pagans blood paints the walls Their souls remain unclaimed Frozen in time, an eternity unbound There will be no reward for the pacifist No salvation for those who dwell in purgatory Not scholars or kings shall be divine Pass through the seven gates before you Look forward to the fledgling men who burn all the same Say farewell to Saladin, But do not embrace his crusade. No pride in finding death Nothing more fleeting than life

The Beasts 01:52
How much torment can I endure My sins are paid for in suffering The serpent and the worm The beasts of hell who tarnish my flesh A ceaseless storm of putrefaction Fill his mouth with mud and trudge past the wind Yet, I fell as a dead body falls There is no end to this suffering My mind is tired and my body is broken But my journey it continues
6.
Phlegethon 02:59
As my torments amassed, I could know no greater Until I gazed upon the Phlegethon It’s boiling blood crashed upon shores The stench of tyrants flesh filled the air Nessus has abandoned me. The distant woods grow closer now Reveal the winged claw and beak To rip the flesh where trees did speak Broken and bleeding. The shards will remain for eternity. Hatred has soaked the earth beneath the hanging dead. Boiling overflow stains the sands and burns the sky. Violence overcomes.
7.
Betrayal is found at the bottom Fiery pits behind, absence of hope ahead The remorseless dead are removed from the light Nothing but heartless cowards in my gaze Pathetic souls find there way here The city of Dis has stricken thee While the three faces look upon me. His six wings cast shadow. Gnashed teeth and hell below. Eyes weep with blood. Traitors reside in the mouth of the beast. Grind and smash their bones do crack Paying for their sins eternally.
