Текст песни: The Dark Forest + перевод

Midway upon my own journey

I found myself in a dark forest

For the straightforward pathway had been lost

I could not understand where I was!

Dante lost himself into the dark forest and is looking for a way out

More and more becomes a dark path

I cannot get out of it

and the darkness falling down on me

will not let me chance, I have to stop!

Not finding his path he falls asleep; sunrays then wake him up

… and I wake up in the sun

I began to climb the mountain

but three beasts obstructing my path

hungry lion, she-wolf and a panther light

they have forced me down from the hill

Dante tries to walk up the hill he face three beasts which make him fall down

Suddenly appeared a dark shape

ghost or man? I could not know

was my master, a great poet

who has lived in Rome, so here’s Virgilio !

Dante meets his guide, Virgilio, who calms him down

…and here he’s there, in front of me

and I said to him «Have you pity on me»

and he to me, calmly reassuring he said

«Rise up

and follow me to hell, where you could meet

ancient spirits, you’ll see

hopefuls in flames

And then

if you want to ascend

a worthy soul will take and guide you on»

Virgilio reassures Dante with him being his guide through this long and

perilous trip
