Warriors of Hell (Part 1)

Its based on Dante's Inferno. The beings in hell are mobilizing to march to the gates of heaven.

Let me show you the way...

Pain and pleasure, condemned to hell

Its changed from Dante’s days

The battering winds which punish lust,

power machines of conquest

Minos readies them to conquer paradise

Beasts of earth have excelled after demise

The Uncommitted - naked and futile,

command the hornets, weapons of war

Their anguished screams, now battlecries

Charon’s boat transformed, a battleship

Cerberus, the monster of hell

commands the gluttons in the freezing mire

Cold and empty they howl like dogs

Instill fear in the strongest hearts

Hoarders and squanderers unite

Weapons of joust now battle arms

Plutus shouts “Papé Satàn, papé Satàn aleppe”

Angels quiver hearing the sounds of hell

The stinking waters of Styx rise up

Savage self-frustration maketh the Sullen numb

Covered in slime, filled with hatred

Phlegyas channels their fury for war

The heretics walk out of their flaming tombs

Their intellect blazing, strategizing

Now we see the seventh circle

Where the Minotaur stands gnawing himself

His strength, his loathing still intact

Behind him masters of violence, the men of gore

Condemned to be immersed in boiling blood

They stand with the centaurs, their tormentors

The second ring, where the Harpies fly

The gnarled, thorny trees with trapped souls made into weapons

The ones with the burnt backs - Blasphemers of the third ring, harness the great flakes of flame

As the weeping Usurers and the running Sodomites help them build a war machine of fire

Geryon - the grotesque monster of fraud, perched on a clifftop, the one with the scorpion tail and the face of an honest man watches as the damned get ready for war
