Who are these spirits whom you see before you?
They didn't worship God in fitting ways
And for no other evil we're lost and punished
We have no hope and yet we live in longing
Tell me master, tell me, more, I want to know
Cause I myself am one
Did any ever go on his own from this place to blessedness?
Who are these souls just kept separate from the rest?
Their name which echoes up within your life
Because each of these spirits shares with me
The name called out by the lone voice
Silence here is just as seemly as our speech was here
Encircled seven times by towering walls
The people here had eyes that were grave and slow
We move along and toward the light
