Canto 34 is one of the chapters of the Divine Comedy Dante (cant remember his last name)...its about a man's journey through hell, purgatory, and finally heaven...google canto 34 and read the poem and (in theory) tell you what this song is about

why would anyone even bother adding this song to the list?

anyway... being a singer myself i tried putting some lyrics to this song and it was not easy... but the song is stellar by itself either way.

this song has no lyrics but it seems like the music is about romance bloomimg in the lives of 3 sisters.

I agree with StartingAFire

I read an interview with Zoltan, and he said the meaning behind this song was Ivan just said he wanted to hear the band play, no lyrics

The song I think is a musical play of the Canto 34 in Dante's Inferno: Canto XXXIV

Argument

 "In the fourth and last round of the ninth circle, those who have betrayed

their benefactors are wholly covered with ice. And in the midst is Lucifer, at whose back Dante and Virgil ascend, till by a secret path they reach the surface of the other hemisphere of the earth, and once more obtain sight of the stars." Other than that its probly just a instrumental.

A kick ass instrumental but given the message of the title i kinda think that "canto 34" should have been put before "walk away".

I think,but i could be wrong.

Dante's Inferno is such an epic poem. It makes sense, having read it, seen it, and played it. This instrumental kicks some ass, love it.

Guitarist Zoltan Bathory explained to Metal Hammer why the band recorded this instrumental track. He explained: "Funnily enough, it was Ivan [Moody, vocals] who really pushed for there to be an instrumental on the album! He said that he just wanted to hear us play, to just shred it, so that's what we did! However, it's not a typical instrumental in that we decided to retain a strong sense of structure, to still go down the verse/chorus route, only with the guitars doing the work."

Bathory added that the title comes from, "the last round of the ninth circle of hell in Dante's Inferno, and as this was the last track we worked on and the record was pretty much a journey through hell to make, lots of pressure, loads to do and not much time to do it in, we thought it highly appropriate!"
