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
