Worm Angel
Pervy Perkin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now we've reached the darkest dark
Now we're in the centre

Now we walk on frozen glass
This will end our venture

Who are you who trample me?
Is this further vengeance?

Dante: And who are you so roughly speak?
Tell me and help your sentence

Whatever you offer I don't care
Keep your words, be off your way

(Bocca! Quiet!)
You will have to name yourself
Or I'll make sure to clear your head!

So that's why you've been trying to hide
(Too bad!)
Oh I very well know who you were
(Bocca!)
I have no words to share with you
(Traitor!)
Let's go!

What is that sage, two joint frozen shades?
One silenced, other chewing his head
Oh you who show, with such bestial sign
All your hatred for this tainted one
Tell me your cause, if I see it fair,
I shall repay you with fame up on Earth

Count Ugolino once I was
And this Ruggieri, a Christian man
In Hunger Tower, we were trapped
My poor four children, how they cried
Days passed but not their pain
Tower earned its name
I had to watch them die
And their bodies
Were claimed by mine
Were claimed by mine!

Father why you cry?
Why're we here? Are we alone? What is gonna happen?
Father don't you cry
We belong to you
Please take our flesh and end it
Father we will die
We love you, we are in pain
Why will you not help me?

All these frozen tears
Master tell me how
This wind
Is blowing
You're about to see

SATAN SATAN

You will find him busy

RED FACE RED FACE

Masticating Judas

BROWN FACE BROWN FACE

Chewing Brutus maybe

WHITE FACE WHITE FACE

Also traitor Cassius

SATAN SATAN

Kingdom
Dolorous
How sad
How beautiful
This an
This angel was
He turned
Against his father

Lo duca e io per quel cammino ascoso
Intrammo a ritornar nel chiaro mondo
E sanza cura aver d'alcun riposo

Salimmo sù, el primo e io secondo
Tanto ch'i' vidi de le cose belle
Che porta 'l ciel, per un pertugio tondo





E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle

The song delves into themes of betrayal, vengeance, and suffering, with intricate storytelling woven throughout the verses.
