The Mendacious Captain!
A caesar arrived, promising us aid,
Our salvation, that put an end to charade,
"Change," who is shackled, will be allayed,
Only through thee we reach Mount Purgatory.

Thine the angel that purges pride, greed, lust, and envy.
A messiah that sanctified gluttony, wrath, and sloth
The truth can be glimpsed only through thine eyes.
The fearsome, awe-inspiring, shards of heaven.

Ne’er walked the earth a greater man than he,
The path to Paradiso passes directly through he,
To those who despise thee, thou is all fury and the darkest of the seven.
What thou desiredst for the saint hast thou he,

Midway upon the journey of salvation,
We found ourselves in the middle of dark forest,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost,
For thee was just a squandered bestrew asunder.

Pestilence, misery, and torture ruin through thy reign.
Gravity inverts itself, where up becomes down,
Spirits' cries of desperation, mourning res publica
For he was just a squandered Chthonics leader.
