Walls of flame
Outside of the gates
The heavenly messenger
Is coming down

Lowes hell
Land of epicureans
Inside the unsecured walls
That hem the region round

Down a secret path
Heretics, we went in
The sixth circle of hell
Tormented souls who have
Disbelieved in immortality

And now we go,
along a narrow way
We proceed between
the walls of flame
Into heresy, dead more
tan the other shades
Denying the soul's immortality

And as we walked,
through the city walls
A voice came from a fiery tomb!

Farinata

"O tosco, who though
the city of fire
Alive art passing,
so discreet of speech:
Here, please thee, stay awhile!"

Sudden that sound forth
issued a vault
Whereat, in fear
I closed to my leader's side

He told me "Turn what
dost thou? That's Farinata,
he's exposed, behold him!"

Who were your ancestors?
Why this hatred against
my family?
I defended my noble land
I am serving my eternal
condemnation

Cavalcante

Another shadow rose behind him
He said:
"If thou through
this blind prison go's
Led by thy lofty genius
and profound
Where's my son?
And why is he not with you"?

And I: "Not of myself
I come; by him
Through this clime conducted
Who perchance thy son
had in contempt"
"What did you ay? Had?
Doe he not still live?
Does the sweet light
not strike his eyes?"
Then he dropped again and
showed himself no more

Finale

Prophetic words
See only distant thoughts
Suffering shades in hell
Battered and resigned

We left the walls
Deeper than mourning earth
Sign of bad omen
Comes to mind

We walk to the middle space
Out of the city of flaming graves
Encouraging words as we proceed
Awful stench came
from the deep abyss
Where the lowest hell begins

In the city of Dis
The city of Dis
Dis!
