Hell's Abyss

Hell’s Abyss Death did beckon me from a dark decaying pit ‘Your time has come’ the hooded figure growled ‘For all eternity here is place that you will sit’ You may find the air in here a little fouled’ I replied ‘No thank you sir, perhaps another time’ He said ‘You will come now, I must insist’ I felt myself get drawn towards the pit of filthy slime By a strong, dark force that I could not resist Slowly but surely I approached Hell’s dark abyss The fear was sending dew drops down my spine I saw decaying corpses and I heard an evil hiss As serpents writhed in seas of boiling brine A large bat with a monkey’s face circled overhead A tentacle was curled around my wrist A grinning demon cackled ‘Come hither join the Dead’ A tortured scream came through a cold grey mist I braced myself to fall, as I knew I had no choice For Hell’s dungeons I was clearly next in line Suddenly there boomed a deep and timbrous voice ‘You cannot have him Satan, he is mine’ An Angel beckoned me from a pool of golden light Her sweet voice said ‘in Heaven you will dwell For all eternity you’ll be protected by God’s might’ Thus I escaped the dark abyss of Hell
