Gnashing of Teeth: Memoirs of Hell's Lost Battles

Encircled in fire and pain, the angels sought flight, Torrents of misery to thy soul, frozen and bound Immobilized by very hand of God this night. The feared legions down from below did fight, Gave it some hell and brought heaven around, Encircled in fire and pain, the angels sought flight. Angels fearful to tread in this vapid absence of light, Absconding to seek him, heavens hallowed crowned, Immobilized by the very hand of God this night. Losing lust for battle for fiery lands was the plight, Downtrodden and fearing his plans ran aground and Encircled in fire and pain, the angels sought flight. But God had the answer for setting this all right, Took the power of love, then hellish grins frowned, Immobilized by the very hand of God this night. Dear God it took your heavenly grace and sight Of love, to see, yet he found them tired and downed Encircled in fire and pain, the angels sought flight, Immobilized by the very hand of god this night.

Thank you! I really love working with this form, but it can be tough to get right. It makes me want to take the easy way out and do acrostics :)
