Hell's Halloween Ball

It's a night Of easy recall When I was a guest Of Hell's Halloween Ball An extravagant arch Cased elaborate, forested doors Plush red carpets Festooned Hell's Ballroom floors Upon my arrival My eyes observed that day The carved reliefs On the doors as adorned Of souls gone astray I peered in the faces Of eyes turned stone cold A pack with the Devil For the contracts he holds Great chandeliers Baroque ceilings high Crystals fashioned From the pain of the hopeless And all the tears ever cried At long tables laden With the feast of the night Hearts of the wretched and unholy Daemons consumed with delight Each soul's deeds tallied And their virtues as well An eternity spent in heaven The balance sheet would tell The wretched and unholy Sent to the bowels of hell
