Círculo V y Vl: La Ciudad Del Mal

FLIGIAS: The city of Dite
Before you shows its splendor
Surrounded by waters, that will never rest
Souls like no other, wrathful and naked they stand
Among the mud of these waters
Those you see, their guide was anger
Piece by piece they tear apart
There you will see amidst the smoke of the quagmire
FLIGIAS: The city of Dite

The tower that precedes the city
In it you will find
Troops and evil men
The deepest parts of hell
Are found in this place
The city of evil guarded
By countless unmatched devils
Behind its walls there is eternal fire
That will burn in its towers like a forge
Land without celestial solace

EURYNOMUS: You shall not pass
These gates are closed

VIRGILIO: Allow me to explain

EURYNOMUS: You may speak
But the living must wait

POE: I beg you, do not leave me

EURYNOMUS: You plead, yet you shall never enter here

POE: Surely this is the end

VIRGILIO: It shall not be, his will imposed
They also denied entry
To Christ, even I went further

VIRGILIO: The city of evil, its gates will open
Our journey will not stop

POE: My fear grows, I feel the evil
That those walls behind enclose
They lurk, I tremble at the thought

FLIGIAS and POE: In that burning tower
The three threatening Furies are
They are Erinyes, infernal serpentine skin

VIRGILIO: You must not fear them
You must avert your gaze while
I lay my hand upon their eyes

HEAVEN'S MESSENGER: I am a messenger of God
Removing those filthy waters
Flee from me and the Lord's Grace
You demons hear the will
Depart vile creatures
I will open those gates, go in peace

FLIGIAS and MESSENGER: You will cross the city of evil
You will see a cemetery of fire
Epicureans are heretics no more
In burning tombs they will lie

POE: The city of evil, they will lament
Burning open graves you will see
They denied God and now they will pay
Among the dead they lie
