Papé Satàn, papé Satàn aleppe Papé Satàn, papé Satàn aleppe Here we find the last remnants of the sins of incontinence The prodigal and those possessed of avarice Demoniacs of the miserly versus the spend-thrifts Push money bags with sunken chests as if they all were Sisyphus Papé Satàn, papé Satàn aleppe Papé Satàn, papé Satàn aleppe Why do you horde? Why do you squander Why do you horde? Why do you squander Crush their hopes like their bones While they joust, the bargain Faust Red runs of profit spill from deleterious accounts One circle down the wrathful drown In the rivers of the Styx The vengeful dead and bilious Claw each other - perfidious Beneath their feet the passive seethe With bottled tempers, gurgling Hidden in the Stygian weeds Sulking submerged in sullen grief Farther in, the City of Dis Sixth circle entrance in the Styx Fire lit, guarded by fallen angels Who patrol the embankment Over head the dreadful furies Always vengeful, threaten murder Twisted sisters, crones with serpent Manes harry sinners with disdain Medusa trails behind them A looming threat to all abusers Female rage personified Gaze petrifies with gorgon eyes Like gargoyles perched on parapets Matriarchal demonic guardians Startle denizens of the tenement Grave sites wherein lie Arch-heretics Epicurus and his arrogant followers Thought souls die with the body - false arbiters Languish in tombs engulfed in flames, littered like Lanterns on the ramparts - they're the hollowed ones Smoked alive in flaming sepulchers While harpies shriek and belabor The heathens and apostates That rings the circle round the great crater Papé Satàn, papé Satàn aleppe Papé Satàn, papé Satàn aleppe Dive deeper into the cesspit of Dis Descend down a sheer cliff to see what's within Before you can reach the first ring of Violence You are faced with the Minotaur, another guardian With a face not unlike Moloch He will frolic in your tears Sidestep his frenzied charge To glimpse the squalor of his peers Murders, tyrants, warmongers and marauders Boil in a river of hell- fire and blood of their slaughter The aberrantly violent flounder in the event horizon Of their crimes, while Chiron strides alongside the Phlegethon The arrows of the centaurs Keep them submerged and in their place Farther out, the second round A thorny wood where wolves bay In the wood of Suicides Shades turn to gnarled and twisted ents That are fed upon by harpies Can only speak when broken or bled Transfixed and paralytic Their human form hangs from their limbs While profligates charge through their brush Pursued by canines for their whims Past the forest - a scorching desert Where blasphemers lie supine Sodomites run round in circles While usurers huddle and cry
