Ugolino Lyrics


A wretch encased in ice

Driven by revenge

To consume forever

My fellow countryman

Once accused of treason

Imprisoned with my kin

To preserve the father

They offer up their skin

Fasting did what misery had not done

Devouring the flesh of thy own sons

Though for my wrongs I may not yet atone

Ruggieri I offer no reprieve as I gnaw him to the bone

Cocytus we are bound

But never alone

Ravenous and entwined

Upon our bloody throne

Duplicit in our faith

Treachery is our sin

Everlasting torment

Let the suffering begin

Fasting did what misery had not done

Devouring the flesh of thy own sons

Though for my wrongs I may not atone

Ruggieri I offer no reprieve as I gnaw him to the bone

Usurped the flesh of man

Retribution for the damned

Behold the sin of thee

Within the frozen sea
