I awoke to a world with a red sky.

Deafening silence and demons fly.

Sulphuric smoke chokes every breath.

So much misery, pray for death.

Wrongs are righted and rights are wronged.

Another arrival, the bell is gonged.

Extreme heat rising by the hour.

Shadows move within the black tower.

Screams emanate from the pit below.

There's no way out, nowhere to go.

Dastardly deeds performed in the past.

Link by link, chains are cast.

A place where His name cannot be spoken.

Evil prevails and promises broken.

Walking on the blade of a rusted knife.

The only second chances, were awarded in life.

Inside my cell I await my turn.

I know my soul will eternally burn.

Beasts await for their chance to brutalize.

Hatred glows from the coal red eyes.

I killed, cheated, lusted, and lied.

My mother begged, my mother cried.

In life many times my soul would sell.

It's no surprise that i awakened in Hell.
