Hell

In this pit of utter darkness The day doesn't see the light Encompassed by my agony To my captors, joyous delight Surrounded by constant weeping And the sounds of grinding teeth Their cries for mercy go unheard With no hope for any relief The living dead is what we're called For there's no one here deceased This torment will last forever And the torture will only increase Time here has no meaning In this prison cell of sorrows Forgiveness, now an illusion No hope for more tomorrows Hope is now a foreign word Only spoken under our breath Compassion here is futile We can't even pray for death Our sins have been recorded And play back in our head With our chances for forgiveness But we still chose this, instead This place is called, "Eternity" Forever here, we'll dwell Others say "The bottomless pit" But this is simply Hell
