Vision 16teen "Diabolica Comedia" - Vanden Plas

Midway into the dark

Straight forward pathway had been lost

I thought I had to find the cipher

Of Dante’s Comedy Divine

Else do I have to say

Speak will I of the other things

This way to paradise is paved

With my monsters and stoned with their cries

Finally come to an end

Over and over and over

Over and over again

This is the day we’ve hailed for such a long time

Death in Venice so sweet

Sweet as the end

Once I was hunting for Athanasia

With a grim sardonic end

In Circle 9 there’s a stairway to light

My son is the key to eternal salvation

Here it starts and here it ends

Over and over and over

Over and over again

This is the day we’ve hailed for such a long time

Death in Venice so sweet

Sweet as the end

Precious allegories

Of a death in Venice

Where the gondolas float bejeweled

Dressed in mourning

(X2) This is the day we’ve hailed for such a long time

Death in Venice so sweet

Sweet as the end
