Inferno (The Divine Comedy) lyrics

I crossed the border, I saw the light I tried to reach it, but then I failed I have to stay here, to pay my dues Am I forgotten and lost in a ruse? Why can't you see me? I am next to you! Why can't you feel me? I am touching you! Take my hand, show me the promised land Let me take a look, but don't let me lose ground Take my hand, show me the promised land Just as visitor and not as resident of Inferno The penitent road I had to cross Facing all my sins, my whole life's loss No peace of heaven, just goddamned heat Heart-piercing cries spread the darkest seed
