Hymn to Virgil’ serves as the final piece of the puzzle from this body of work, which is loosely based on Dante's The Divine Comedy.
This offering finds Hozier stepping into the shoes of Dante, who has just made it through the circles of Hell and stands on the precipice of Heaven, but decides to remain in Hell, because Virgil cannot leave.

This Virgil is based on the epic Roman poet of the same name.
Hozier performed the live debut of ‘Hymn to Virgil’ during his 2024 Australia tour.
"Hymn To Virgil"
If I held in my hands everything gold could buy
I'd still not have a thing worth giving you
You tell me the sun is shining in paradise
And I have to watch your lips turn blue
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat
You are the reason I went through it
The only meaning as I knew it
And I can only do my best
I do not do this for myself
I'd walk through hell on living feet for you
I wouldn't be seen walking through any door
Some place that you're not welcome to
You stare at the faces smiling from somewhere warm
From some place the sunlight won't come through
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat
You are the reason I went through it
The only meaning as I knew it
I can only do my best
I do not do this for myself
I'd walk through hell on living feet for you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat to you
I would burn the world to bring some heat
