Frozen Lake

from Inferno - LP by Aiden Malacaria

/

lyrics

By Antaeus’ hands
Placed on frozen lands
Mind your steps my friend
For we’re at journey’s end

Deep down the darksome well
And far beneath the giant’s feet
A depth so deep, no light can reach
The sinners of Treachery

Here behold a thousand faces
Purple, cold and locked in places
Feeling naught but cold embraces

Betrayers to their lords
Lay far below
Denied all warmth
As they are trapped
Beneath the waters
Frozen by the beating of Satan’s wings

(Caina)
(Antenora)
(Ptolomaea)
(Judecca)

The coldest place in hell is reserved
For betrayers
And oath breakers
The love that you threw away, entrusted in you
For that
You’ll freeze
You’ll never

Feel a warm embrace again
Among the talking heads
(Love deniers)
Pulling at hair tied together

Feel it grip around your neck
No longer countrymen
(Oh, Remorseless)
Deeper in ice to serve your kin

Feel love denied in death
For betraying your friends and guests
(Disregarded hospitality)
Feel the beat of Satan’s wings

Twisted deep beneath the ice
All is silent
(Crystalline tears line your vision)
Punishing those of your excision

(Round 1) bow together
(Round 2) cannibalism
(Round 3) the more you weep the more your tears shall freeze
(Round 4) twisted Visions
(Beneath the ice) utter Immobility
(Not even death) awaits your soul to be claimed with the likes of
(Traitors)
Vexilla
(Treason)
Regis
(Traditrici)
Prodeunt
(Traditori)
Inferni
(Caina)
Betray your family
(Antenora)
Tojan loyalty
(Ptolomaea)
Heinously lie supine
(Judecca)
You’ll never

Punishing those who watch, as the

Banners of the king of hell draw closer
The banners of the king of hell draw closer
From the gates of hell you’ve been (scorned)
From the gates of hell you’ve been (warned)
Abandon all hope
Ye who enter in

Beyond the silent realm of tortured souls with no horizon
Lies another beast of a great misfortune
(He’s never redeemable)
Until the end of time

Ecco dite, ed ecco il loco ove convien che di fortezza t'armi
Lo ‘mperador del doloroso regno

(Behold the king of hell)

(Lo ‘mperador del doloroso regno)
(Da mezzo ‘l petto uscia fuor de la ghiaccia)
(E piu’ con un gigante io mi convegno)

(Che I giganti non fan con le sue braccia)
(Vedi oggamai quant’esser dee quel tutto)
(Ch’a cosi’ fatta parte si confaccia)

(S’el fu si’ bel com’ellie’ ora brutto)
(E contra ‘l suo fattore alzo’ le ciglia)
(Ben dee da lui proceder ogne lutto)

Once the brightest star to see
Beauty grace and harmony
Bound in frozen Lake Cocytus
Father of all sin

Although your pride was blossoming
You were truly lost within
You portrayed the greatest flaws
That led us to our sins

Now you’re locked and encased in ice
Frozen for the rest of time
The face upon your neck be thrice
The torment

Black
Red, white and yellow
Down 3 chins fell bloody drivel
Gigantic wings of all the seas doth he could sail

From three mouths he feeds on sinners
And from six eyes he weeps and withers
Congealed in Lake Cocytus
And from silence black
In pain they writhe
Clawing, scratching, exposing spine
The one in the greatest of pain deep within hell resides
Our journey must end and we must return to the light
For we know what lies below in eternal night

(For the souls with wasted lives seeking passage through me)

(Per me si va ne la citta’ dolente)
(Per me si va ne l’etterno dolore)
(Per me si va tra la perduta gente)

(Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore)
(Fecemi la divina podestate)
(La somma Sapienza e ‘l primo amore)

(Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create)
(Se non etterne, e io etterno duro)
(Lasciate ogne Speranza, voi ch’intrate)
