Divine Tragedy

Into its hellfire between sin and curse
  in realms of the dead I am not alone -
a journey through circles of Hell on earth
  in the inferno that leads to the throne.
A last pilgrimage in Purgatory
  with Satan my guide and God my witness -
to seek that lost divinity in me
  staring deep into the edge of darkness.
But all I am is a soul sacrifice -
  a sin offering to a mortal world
seeking the divine grace of Paradise
  and to my revenant spirit behold.
If I listen for that soul in limbo
I can hear in me its living echo.
