(Original Italian version)
La mercificazione
dell'anima,
lasciala corrompere
lasciala perire
lasciala logora
vecchia e disfatta.
La giusta punizione
per un tale destino,
la colpa del nascere
ricade sulla tua carne
condannata a marcire
fino alle ossa.
Sventrala
non meriti pietà alcuna
se non l'estrema vicinanza
con la riva
del lago
di fuoco.
Sprofonda nelle fiamme
abbandona il tuo cadavere
alle lingue di fuoco
purificano il peccato
causato dalla colpa
del tuo esistere.

(Translated English version)
The commodification
of the soul,
let it corrupt
let it perish
let it be worn out
used and undone.
The right punishment
for such a destiny,
the guilt of birth
lies on your flesh
condemned to rot
to the bones.
Gut it
you deserve no mercy
if not the extreme vicinity
to the shore
of the lake
of fire.
Sink into flames
abandon your corpse
to the tongues of fire
purifying the sin
caused by the guilt
of your existence.
