Hellspawn

He was once a brave warrior, burned to death and sent to hell
But the devil, hearing his bidding, brought him to life with a fiery spell
Maleboglia was the devil's name, and he pledged, he'd serve him well 
As to the end course of his destiny, no one could really tell 

Went back to earth, he had no trace of his real identity 
For, the devil Maleboglia has clouded his memory 
In a state of faint confusion, his memory had come vaguely 
Blurry flashback of his shrouded past had come so painfully 

The fate of his love did not come beautifully 
His best friend took his wife's heart, and he felt betrayed deeply 
Five years have already passed since he died in agony 
Had it not been for his new purpose, he would have gone fiercely 

He battled thugs and pedophiles who murdered children brutally 
One of his mortal nemeses was a fierce thug named Billy
With his might and iron will, he became King of Rat City 
In the War of Heaven and Hell, he claimed Hell's throne rightfully 

His dream of hell as paradise did not come materially 
For, in twists and turns of fate, his reign ended hastily 
But his hallowed destiny inscribed a track in history 
For, he braved heaven and hell for earth to live in harmony
