Verse 1 Em D G C 6/8 time
Nine circles and the River Acheron, where I wait,
Nine circles and I have finally gone through the gate.
Loss of faith, lost to lust, first and second’s truly not for us,
To the third Cerberus rends, as this inferno turns we will descend.
Verse 2 Em D G C 6/8 time
Nine circles and the River Acheron, where I wait,
Nine circles and I have finally gone through the gate.
Drive that weight, lie in the mire, the fourth and fifth is not what we desire,
To the sixth the sinners burn as this inferno turns we will discern.
Chorus A C
Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here.
Verse 3 Em D G C 6/8 time
Nine circles and the River Acheron, where I wait,
Nine circles and I have finally gone through the gate.
Boiling blood, the death desired, is this the solace that they had required?
Blasphemers lie and lay sedate, as this inferno turns we move to eight.
Chorus A C
Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here.
LEAD Em D G C 6/8 time
Verse 3 Em D G C 6/8 time
Nine circles and the River Acheron, where I wait,
Nine circles and I have finally gone through the gate.
The fraudulent, the most malign, the unrepentant sinners walk the lines.
Then I’m at nine, the final level, I raise my voice and sing to taunt the devil.
Chorus A C
Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here.
