by Dante Aghlieri

"Through me you go to the grief racked city. Through me to everlasting pain you go..."

A NEW JOURNEY TO EMBARK ON

canto 1, De selby

canto 1, De selby part two

canto 1, De selby part one

At last, when all of the world is asleep You take in the blackness of air The likes of a darkness so deep That God, at the start, couldn't bear

I wanna run against the world that's turnin' I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn I wanna be gone

"At one point midway on our path in life, I came around and found myself now searching through a dark wood, the right way blurred and lost."

I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin' Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun If you want it done

CIRCLE I - LIMBO

canto 2, first time

canto 2, first time

And the first time that you kissed me I drank dry the River Lethe

Some part of me must have died The first time that you called me "baby" And some part of me came alive The first time that you called me "baby"

"It represents limbo. This cycle of birth and death, of being lifted by an experience and then that experience ending and it feeling like your world collapsing in on you, and then going again." Hozier

CIRCLE II - LUSTFUL

canto 5, Francesca

canto 5, Francesca

My life was a storm since I was born How could I fear any hurricane?

Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I

CIRCLE III - THE GLUTTONOUS

canto 6, eat your young

canto 6, eat your young

Pull up the ladder when the flood comes Throw enough rope until the legs have swung Seven new ways that you can eat your young

I'm starvin', darlin' Let me put my lips to somethin' Let me wrap my teeth around the world Start carvin', darlin' I wanna smell the dinner cookin' I wanna feel the edges start to burn

CIRCLE IV - THE AVARICIOUS

canto 7, damage gets done

canto 7, damage gets done

"[The] song is in [the] circle of greed, and so it is reflecting on the negative space between being young and silly and being reckless – and the actual harm that is done in the long term of life on the planet or in society. You know, it’s just the space between those two: like when you’re youngest and you’re at your least powerful and you’ve nothing to your name, sleeping on somebody’s floor. Every generation looks back at teenagers as, like, how they cause harm and that they’ll be the end of us. But they’re not. It’s playing with that idea."

CIRCLE V - THE WRATHFUL

canto 8, son of nyx

CIRCLE VI - THE HERETICS

canto 10, all things end

CIRCLE VII - VIOLENCE

canto 12, Butchered tongues

canto 10, Butchered tongues

A butchered tongue still singin' here above the ground The ears were chopped from young men if the pitch cap didn't kill them They are buried without scalp in the shattered bedrock of our home

CIRCLE VIII - MALEBOLGE

canto 18, Anything But

CIRCLE IX - TREACHERY

canto 27, Unknown/Nth

THE END OF THE JOURNEY

First light

The sky set to burst , the gold and the rust, the colour erupts

Like I lived my whole life, before the first light
