Row
Pervy Perkin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Son
Now see
The souls
Of those
Whom anger
Overcame

Beneath
The water
People are
Who sigh
And in the slime
They say

We sullen were
We bore the mist
Of sluggishness
And now we sink

Master, I see
What you say
But who's that man that comes our way?

He's our passage
Phlegyas
In his boat we'll cross this marsh

YOU
ARE
CAUGHT!
FOUL SOUL
NOW
YOU
ARE
CAUGHT!

Phlegyas, Phlegyas
We're yours no longer
Than what it takes to cross
The swamp you're under

Who are you come before your time?

I've come, but I won't stay, but who are you?

You see I'm just a poor soul weeping here

In weeping, grieving may you long remain
I know your name
you indignant dog!
Be off the boat!
I hope to see your spirit soused within this broth
And you dismembered by these sinners praised be God!

My dear, oh my dear
You did so well
We now have finally reached the lower Hell

WELCOME TO DIS
DIS




WELCOME TO DIS
TO DIS

There exist individuals


Who sigh
Who lament and express sorrow


And in the slime
And within this filth


They say
They voice their despair


We sullen were
We were filled with gloom


We bore the mist
We carried the haze


Of sluggishness
Of lethargy weighing us down


And now we sink
And now we descend into despair


Master, I see
Guide, I understand


What you say
Your words resonate with truth


But who's that man that comes our way?
Yet, who is the figure approaching us?


He's our passage
He is our means of crossing

What brings you here prematurely?


I've come, but I won't stay, but who are you?
I arrive, yet I shall not linger; thus, who are you?

I am merely a lamenting spirit, sorrowful and lost


In weeping, grieving may you long remain
In your sorrow and mourning, may you dwell endlessly


I know your name
Your identity is known to me


you indignant dog!
You, insolent creature!


Be off the boat!
Depart from the vessel immediately!


I hope to see your spirit soused within this broth
I wish to witness your essence submerged in this mire


And you dismembered by these sinners praised be God!
And may you be torn asunder by these condemned, bless the Divine!


My dear, oh my dear
Beloved, oh cherished one


You did so well
You have performed admirably


We now have finally reached the lower Hell
At last, we have arrived in the depths of damnation


WELCOME TO DIS
GREETING YOU AT DIS


DIS
THIS PLACE OF PUNISHMENT


WELCOME TO DIS
WE WELCOME YOU TO DIS


TO DIS
TO THIS ABODE OF SORROW
