« Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate »
Abandon all hope, ye who enter
I carry your heart with me
Anywhere I go
My dear
I fear
No fate
I want
No world
A Sun
Will always sing with you
She was at my desire
Venus of gloomy day
Thought she would be my mirror
Thought she could be the way
No time to hesitate
No time to waste my time
She blew my mind,
She was fire
You merely stole my precious time
But it's all right
May the angels lead you into paradise;
May the saints greet you at your arrival
And lead you into the holy City of Jerusalem
May the choir of Angels greet you
And like Lazarus, who once was a poor man
May you have eternal rest.
The beginning of the song is freely inspired by the adagio cantabile of Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13 (Sonata Pathétique).
