Deep down the earth the river filled
with fire consumes the dead with obolus shining
in their empty eyes leaving no trace of what
they once used to be For they were abandoned
by those who believed to be gods
Through me the way is to the city dolent
Through me the way is to eternal dole
Through me the way among the people lost
Justice incited my sublime Creator
Created me divine Omnipotence
The highest Wisdom and the primal Love
Before me there were no created things
Only eterne and I eternal last
All hope abandon ye who enter in
All memories of those abandoned by the gods fade away
Transforming them into superior lives for they cannot stay
Fear no gods As thou are god yourself rise thy swords
Quench their thirst As thou are god yourself fear no gods
Commingled are they with that caitiff choir
Of Angels who have not rebellious been
Nor faithful were to God but were for self
The heavens expelled them not to be less fair
Fear no gods As thou are god yourself rise thy swords
Quench their thirst As thou are god yourself fear no gods
These have no longer any hope of death
And this blind life of theirs is so debased
They envious are of every other fate
No fame of them the world permits to be
All those who perish in the wrath of God
Here meet together out of every land
And ready are they to pass o'er the river
Because celestial Justice spurs them on
So that their fear is turned into desire
This way there never passes a good soul
And hence if Charon doth complain of thee
Well mayst thou know now what his speech imports
Only eterne and I eternal last
All hope abandon ye who enter in
Deep down the earth the river filled with fire consumes the dead
But you had seen the trace of what they used to be
Fear no gods As thou are god yourself rise thy swords
Quench their thirst As thou are god yourself fear no gods
