Lake of Fire

too late to turn back sang the symphony of sorrow
you must pay for your sins and the sentence is eternal
going through a tunnel like funnel cloud terror
saw your entire life played on dirty cracked mirrors
can't turn around,no your home is straight ahead
it's not a nightmare that left you bleeding in your bed
cuts and slashes to your mind,heart,and soul
this journey into darkness you have to do alone
you had a million chances to come into the light
Gods angels begged you please but those demons left you blind
deaf and dumb mindless and numb your only thought was more that was your only rule of 
thumb
you let the devil play you,he told you you were his ace
now you see you're just his joker as he's laughing in your face
the signpost reads, :LAKE OF FIRE JUST AHEAD
now your sobbing turns to screaming and your fear it turns to madness
you hear laughter all around you,and evil gladness
now you're on a roller coaster with one hundred other fools
low learning insane victims and low life living imbred ghouls
the cart it rocks and rolls soon it will go off the tracks
and the fire is getting closer,demons crawling up your back
and you scream unholy anguish as you fall into the fire
the devil laughs forever inside your mind full of devilish desire
"WELCOME HOME SON TO THE BURNING LAKE OF FIRE"

Excellent piece, with a little effort I wonder if this could be made into a song? A very vivid read enjoyed the metaphors, dark poem teetering on the edge of the lake
