Intro:
Welcome to Limbo, where the lost souls roam, torn
Caught between realms, it's the place of the unborn
Verse 1:
Man, it’s the first circle, where the soft flames flicker
Souls are left hollow, man, their shadows grow thicker
No redemption, no salvation on their tongue
Moanin', groanin' for the light that won’t come
I see scholars, poets, wisdom in their veins
They speak of glory but all’s left is pain
Virgil at my side, got the guide through the sorrow
Chillin' in Limbo, no hope for tomorrow
Hook:
First circle flames burn without a hiss
Each shadow lost, stuck in timeless abyss
Wit and wisdom failed, in this perpetual mist
Eternal limbo, world of those not missed
Verse 2:
Ancient minds, Aristotle to Socrate’s thoughts
Roam these empty fields, caught in the paradox
Sunlight? None. Just perpetual dusk
Breathin’ silent shouts, in their endless husks
Eyes look weary, stories untold
The righteous and wise, their fates unfold
No blasphemy or sin, yet here they stay
Caught in eternal night, with no break of day
Bridge:
Wasted brilliance, in a world so grim
Voices echo out, but the chance is slim
First circle, the purgatory of the known
Infernal, eternal, forever they roam
Hook:
First circle flames burn without a hiss
Each shadow lost, stuck in timeless abyss
Wit and wisdom failed, in this perpetual mist
Eternal limbo, world of those not missed
Outro:
The path continues deeper, flames grow high
Leaving behind the brilliance, under a darkened sky
Dante's visions vivid, but my heart remains bold
Facing what's ahead, in this story told
