Purgatorio

Purgatory, Canto One O'er better waves to speed her rapid course The light bark of my genius lifts the sail Well pleas'd to leave so cruel sea behind; And of that second region will I sing In which the human spirit from sinful blot Is purg'd, and for ascent to Heaven prepares Here, O ye hallow'd Nine! for in your train I follow, here the deadened strain revive; Nor let Calliope refuse to sound A somewhat highеr song, of that loud tone Which when the wrеtched birds of chattering note Had heard, they of forgiveness lost all hope Walk amongst the dead Washed upon the shore to pay our debts And now will we see paradise? No! No purification For these rotting souls Save us from this torment Suffering what we've earned Blistering in the flames There it goes What a waste to watch it burn Save us from this torment Save us We've all been hiding away in the shadows Covering our eyes to the negligence Violence is looming Salvation will wait And now we're swinging away in the gallows And now we're swinging away in the gallows

Down Through pain divide Down This hell you won't survive So take a final drink and leave the past behind Feel it consume now you've been denied Forgive me Forgive you Deny And your pride is another devastation Forgive me Forgive you Deny And your pride is another devastation you hide I deny I deny I deny I deny you Down Gone is your purity Down Bathe in your misery So take a final drink and leave the past behind Feel it consume now you've been deniеd Forgive me Forgive you Dеny And your pride is another devastation Forgive me Forgive you Deny And your pride is another devastation you hide I deny I deny you I'll never set you free It's time you take the fall So get down on your knees 'Cos I'm your mother fucking god You concede to a trinity Never lost inside of a reality killer Take me down You concede to a trinity Never lost inside of a reality killer Take me down below You concede to a trinity Never lost inside of a reality killer Take me down You concede to a trinity Never lost inside of a reality killer Take me down below

Can you Can you Can you Can you fix me? Fix me Fix me I try to find myself redeemed again Can I be fixed if I'm already dead? I know my punishment awaits Now that the verdicts in is it too late to escape? The weight has brought me to my knees Can you fix me? Fix me Fix me Can you fix me? Fix me So subdued my weakness starts to show Anxious I bear the burden of the stone I know my punishment awaits This excommunication’s leaving me displaced The weight has brought me to my knees Can you fix me? Fix me Fix me Can you fix me? Fix me On the mountain all the pagans sing And all the pagans sing Run away Run away Run away Run away Run Can you fix me? Fix me Fix me Can you fix me? Fix me

I adore the shadow of a dream Hate to feel, but this is all I need This is all I need and this is the end My undoing I let my motives speak Excessive and disorderly I'm so self fucking destructive I can't be denied 'Cause I know I just love the feeling I get when I'm inside This time cut out my eyes Can't place you in my mind And I'm so self fucking destructive I can't be denied 'Cause I know I just love the feeling I get when I'm inside When I'm inside Whеn I'm inside This machine I can nevеr get enough This machine I can never get enough This machine I can never get enough This machine This machine This machine I can never get enough I adore the shadow of a dream Hate to feel, but this is all I need This is all I need I adore...

I'm giving in one more time to the physical Another heart that I need to bleed Now I know it's my turn to come undone I'm feeling so inspired The storm inside me Left here with my desires This hunger guides me I can't fight my ravenous ways We drift into the empty space My teeth sink so deep I'm giving in one more time to the physical Under duress and it hurts to breath And I beg for more as we come undone Eyes locked, I can't resist My admiration Her face, hеr lips, her sin Feel the tension. Thе black It never ends as I ravage you Hold me close Our embrace Two more dead lovers and now we're just wasting away I can't break these chains of my suffering The sun now sets where I lie My obsession consumes me Pray for mercy Now walk into the fire Pray for mercy Repent Now you pray Pray for mercy Now walk into the fire Pray for mercy Repent

Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part Violence surrounds me As I confess This pilgrim sanctified And taken to the edge Head broken Take it apart as I show no restraint I am the late repentant Baptised in the flames Another tortured soul Another tortured soul It swallows me as it purifies It swallows me as it purifies Violence surrounds me I feel their wrath Can't see past my delusions Angеls dressed in black Head brokеn Take it apart as I show no restraint I am the late repentant Baptised in the flames Another tortured soul Another tortured soul It swallows me as it purifies It swallows me as it purifies This justice so divine I've purged these sins of mine On this mountain high I now see paradise Erase the imperfections The horrors that I breed Erase the imperfections The memories I keep Erase away Violence surrounds me Erase away Violence surrounds me Violence, violence Violence surrounds me Violence, violence Violence surrounds
