Per Aspera Ad Inferi - Commentary Version
Per Aspera Ad Inferi. There's an old Latin motto that goes “Per aspera ad astra” which means “through hardship to the stars.” It’s not very uncommon that you see that, with the very obvious message, whereas ours mean “through hardship to hell” and it's basically a song that deals with human ambition. I almost said youth, but nowadays youth sort of encompasses everything from 15 year olds to 45 year olds who are still, especially consider themselves still part of youth and their never dying ambition to become something else. If that is combined with any form of religious beliefs, it's surprisingly how unbeknownst they are to the the fact they are basically, in a Biblical sense, worshiping the devil.
