Inferno Flames

It was about how I felt going
through the inferno The 
discoveries that were
made in ancient Italian times
The pieces coming together
completeing a mysterious puzzle, 
that was known by very few 
and still is today 

But someone ask as I question 
Could these burning flames 
be of eternal life refusing
to cease, I say if this is true
inferno flames between heaven
and earth shield the air 
I breathe' Raging fire cease
from burning release us 
from hell's gate where the shadows 

of death are not far behind
in its blurr of existence
I really don't think they get it
That thing at the bottom of the
inferno causing the flames
Where the shadow of death stalks
in this place It's not a joke where
someone can escape back to their 
Mamma and Daddy
as when they was a child
