My Journey Into Hell
I knew as soon as I had died
That they would welcome me inside
Into a world of pain filled toil
Shrouded in darkness beneath the soil
Inside a coffin of padded oak
My soul did stir and I awoke
I did not breathe for I was dead
My wax like form my life had shed
Through the lid I tried to rise
But I could not for my demise
Had called for me to stay within
As the price to pay for all my sin
It was then and there I knew my fate
But now I knew it was too late
As I tumbled downwards into Hell
Gone forever my protective shell
Distant voices called for me
Broke from the flesh into fantasy
Swirled from the body that clasped so tight
To join the voices of the night
Cerberus growls at the Tempter’s gate
As into Hell to infernal fate
An unclean spirit is dragged by his hair
Into the abyss the stygian lair
Beyond the beyond my silent scream
Stayed within this nightmare dream
For I a victim of a violent time
Remained cursed forever for my crime
Fire spirits and demon hoards
Demonical masters the overlords
Sway within the brimstone flame
Cast into Gehenna to eternal shame
Above shone the light of eternal bliss
‘Oh give me my Lord’s face to kiss’
But in this God forsaken place
I had fallen swift from grace
For in the shadows the demon’s dance
As tortured souls in a trance
Walked and wandered with clouded gaze
Through the cabalistic corridors of this maze
Their faces white so thin and drawn
Forever night, no light, no dawn
Holding lanterns to guide their path
As the demon’s mock and curse, and laugh…
A flash of fire of yellow and red
Swept out amongst the living dead
And from the flame stepped out the Beast
Its satanic eyes searched for a feast
Saliva dripping from slavering jaws
The Beast reached out with long sharp claws
Snatching me it began to crunch
For I was now the Devil’s lunch…
