Foyer of Hell - Decadence

I am on the way into the city of woe

I am on the way to the forsaken people

I am going down into a pit so low

I am on the way into eternal sorrow

The cry ceased and the echo passed hearing

I saw three mighty presences appearing

With neither joy or sorrow in their bearing

No sign of compassion or caring

I stand on the foyer of hell

In this nightmare I will dwell

No direct ascent past the beasts

To pass this you must descend through Hell

These wretches were never dead

They ran through swarms of hornets naked

That gauged them the more they fled

Sweet blood soaked them red

It made their faces stream with bloody gouts

Pus and gore that dribbled to their feet

If they fell they were to be swallowed

By loathsome worms and filthy maggots

I stand on the foyer of hell

In this nightmare I will dwell

No direct ascent past the beasts

To pass this you must descend through Hell

Descending all through Purgatory and then

You will be free to dwell

No direct ascent past the beasts

To pass this you must descend through Hell

Descending all through Purgatory, crossing the fire

To pass this you must descend through Hell
