• The Passage to the Underworld

With a long white beard and red eyes the dingy charon
Crosses with his boat the river of acheron carrying the shadows
At the other side in front of the entrance of hades' realm
The nasty kerveros with his three heads is watching over

Between the crossroads of the underworld three impartial judges are standing,
Minos, aiakos and radamanthis
They ascribe the justice, defining for every dead the sentence
Or the grace that he deserves

The left path leads straight to tartaros, a land for the
Punishment of sinners and the torment of disrespectful spirits
This huge jail is surrounded by a triple wall,
Also bounded by a flaming river, piriflegethon

In front of the great gate with the adamantine columns
Tisiphony is standing with her bloody cloth all day and night

Between the crossroads of the underworld three impartial judges are standing,
Minos, aiakos and radamanthis
They ascribe the justice, defining for every dead the sentence
Or the grace that he deserves

The right path leads to the palace of hades
And ends to the elysian fields where the blessed souls are living
Full of holts, cool air, bright and peaceful landscapes
Further on, there is a small vale where the river lethe is
At its shores countless shadows are hovering
Only the ones that are predestinated to live again in an other body,
Are drinking the water of the river in order to forget their past
And return back to the earth

Between the crossroads of the underworld three impartial judges are standing,
Minos, aiakos and radamanthis
They ascribe the justice, defining for every dead the sentence
Or the grace that he deserves
