I copped a quotation from Dante for the first verse of this song - hope I got the Italian right (please correct my pronunciation if I'm wrong!)

Story behind the song
Read this quote from Dante at the beginning of T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Arthur Prufrock" and decided to steal it for my song.
Lyrics
“Endflame” Capers Simmons VERSE I S’io credesse che mia riposta fosse A persona che mai tornasse al mondo Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse Ma perciocce giammai di questo fondo Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo VERSE II If I believed my answer was being made To someone who could return to the world This flame would shake no more But since (if what I hear is true) No one has ever returned alive from these depths I will answer you… PRECHORUS I I swore on my soul: I’d never tell another person what lies In the depths of hell that I burn in, but since you’re down here too I’ll share the pain. From my personal flames I will answer you CHORUS I Every other footstep, every other sunset Every other life I get farther away (Away from the cradle to the grave) Always been an outcast, haunted by my past Always had to outlast all my foes God knows, I’m cold VERSE III I’m like a puppet, and I wonder who’s pulling my strings I react, counterattack, but I can’t change And all my resistance don’t mean a damn thing The wrong kind of guidance leaves me lost within Feels like steel seeping under my skin It heals over, but the scars come back again PRECHORUS II Years go by – watch the time fly – friends fall away And my enemies die. Nothing left to say When the clock runs down, see you underground Light a fire inside that never burns out. ~ CHORUS I ~ VERSE II ~ CHORUS II Every other heartbreak feels like another earthquake I think it’s gonna shake me to my knees (And end every life that I lead) But it only makes me stronger, and I won’t wait any longer I’ll keep on trying harder to seize eternity
