Nine Circles Down

V5.5

Verse 1 – The Gate (Limbo) I read the words carved into stone “Abandon hope”—but I walk alone Shadows whisper, no screams, no fire Just silent ghosts of lost desire No pain, no peace, no saving grace Just endless time in a hollow place Pre-Chorus Step by step, I descend below Where the truth is something I don’t wanna know Chorus Nine circles down, where the lost souls go Each sin a chain that you chose to hold The deeper I fall, the less I feel Heaven fades, and Hell gets real Verse 2 – Lust & Gluttony Winds of passion tear them apart Bodies tangled, but empty hearts Endless hunger, they claw and feed Drowning forever in their own need Rain falls filthy, cold and thick Over souls that made themselves sick Verse 3 – Greed & Wrath Gold turns heavy in their hands They push and pull in endless demands Screams erupt in a boiling tide Rage consumes what they can’t hide Fighting shadows, blind with hate They built their own eternal fate Pre-Chorus Every sin leaves a deeper scar You don’t know who you are anymore Chorus Nine circles down, where the lost souls go Every truth that you didn’t show The deeper I fall, the dark reveals Hell’s not fire—it’s what you feel Bridge – Heresy & Violence Flames rise from tombs they can’t escape Burning in lies they helped create Blood runs red in a broken stream Violence echoes in every scream Trees that bleed when branches break Souls trapped inside the lives they take Breakdown – Fraud Smiles of silver, tongues of deceit Masks melt down in the burning heat Truth was twisted, trust betrayed Now they wander in the lies they made Final Verse – Treachery (Cocytus) Frozen silence, no cries, no flame Betrayal carved in every name Ice grips tighter than any fire Cold reflection of false desire Eyes wide open, but they can’t see The cost of their own loyalty Final Chorus Nine circles down, now I understand Hell was never some distant land It lives inside every choice we make Every promise we choose to break No more falling, I see the light I turn around—I choose to fight Outro From the depths where the lost remain I rise again through the guilt and pain
