Midway through life, I realized I went astray From things that matter most, a pain that won't cease Lost in the Dark Wood of Error every day
Need to witness hell before I know true peace Must embrace darkness to reach enlightenment Need to know the things that no one cares to see
The first ring of hell, I hear cries of torment Millions scream in anguish, silenced by the heat Never cared for what animals underwent
The second circle brings a storm of skinned meat What's left of people who wore leather and mink Women with make-up dragged to labs by their feet
Ring number three a swamp of garbage I sink Fat slobs live below, they ate nothing but shit A three headed hog eats lard and blood he drinks
In the fourth circle, those who wasted their wit Disrupting creatures, tomfoolery to sell Now demons taunt them, starve them for stupid tricks
An eye for an eye Stripped down of your rights You make think you're innocent But ignorance makes you a suspect Greed and gluttony Fraud and treachery You may think you're better than this Arrogance, a guilty verdict
I descend on a marsh, the fifth ring of hell Where violent morons wage war with each other They inflicted rage on those who could not tell
And in the sixth ring those who lived to smother Animals for speculation, playing God Cut open, tested on a burning alter
In the seventh circle, a river of blood Flows to the burning sands where bulldozers run Over the ones who tore down forests with grudge
Getting close now, circle eight, Bolgias I shun
Where government agencies are sealed inside Ignored animals while corrupt deed s were done
Who lies within the ninth ring after they die? Forever frozen in the lake Cocytus Where Satan himself the Lord of Sin resides
Menacing heads above the ice twitch and fuss Slayers of innocence by religious rit's No virgins wait here, just gashed throats, blood and pus
Men struggle to breathe, such a horrendous sight I recognize Tony Hayward from BP Smash his face down into the oil and ice
Approaching the center and what do I see? The ones who made billions in life butchering Can't cry about it now or their eyes will freeze
I see Ronald, Wendy, and the Burger King Dangling from the mouths of Satan like cigars Below contorted CEOs suffering
Arise from hell, once again beneath the stars Mount Purgatory, dawn of a brand new day Surrounded now by other penitent souls Begin the journey that will pave the light's way
Through seven sins of nature I pay my tolls I am starved and beaten, branded on my chest I cleanse myself, now ready to reach the goal
Travel the universe, meet the very best A flash of light reveals the meaning of life The vision comforts me, finally I rest
I see farm animals roam fields without strife Horses without reigns wander wide open land Primates live in jungles, not under the knife
I see nature sleep in peace, untouched by man Ocean creatures swim liberated and clean Melodic skies of birds, silent desert sands
I see people shut down their deadly machines Religions join hands, end this conceited war A life worth living in a world so serene
I fall back to earth, see who we really are I lie down on the dirt and stare at the stars
