I lie inside
this barren vault
devoid of all light,
Endless despair
resides in this
acheronian night.

Fragmented dreams
dim memories
allow no repose,
Amongst cobwebs
a malignant
sickness here grows.

I can only
scream inside this
claustrophobic world,
Inside my head
the unravelling
now becomes unfurled.

My broken mind
raped, subdued and
evermore forsaken,
Weary phantom
condemned and quite
beyond redemption.

The furies come
scarlet dripping
from their hollow eyes,
Bringing their gift
of corrupt and
unholy demise.

Fearsome angels
drawn to the stench
of my stagnation,
Seeking the soul
fetid and soaked
in depravation.

Frenzied hunger
brings them closer
towards this place,
My fate to be
devoured in
esurent embrace.

The raging soothed
the only sound
I hear is the call,
To Avernus
one more journey
my perfect last fall.

The siren song
most exquisite
macbre serenade,
I sink slowly
into the void
at long last I fade.

But fiendish howls
now rise and swell
inside my head,
Sweet chorus lost
light permeates
and black becomes red.

I awaken
and am revived
to familiar pain,
The reverie
of salvation
the vile creature's game.

Their cruel laughter
echos around
this squalid cell,
And once again
I am confined
to my living hell.
