Rock of Damnation

from his rock he  sends out a deadly summons
  that calls  
                          the demons up to hell
that calls
                           the devils home 
a call for the  barbarians to answer

a cold wind blows through to a man’s soul
               as eternity waits
                                   inside the furnaces fire 
and     Lucifer sips
upon the dregs of society`s ills

the wake to realities nightmare
of devils and demons living
inside hells fires and brimstones
where the stench of death and suffering
invade the living 
                                  and the walking dead

the demons can cage a man
the demons can break a man`s spirit
but they can-not cage a man`s minds escape 

an minds escape 
                                     upon wings that fly

he dreams of lazing on a sun soaked beach
 a drink in hand   staring out at a pacific blue
sitting upon golden sands 

then he wake from dream
                  to nightmares reality
of devils and demons    
living
           side by side  inside Hades 
living
              side by side inside Dante' s fire

where upon the silence dark
                                     a nightmare screams
at the sound of rattling chains and steel iron 
at the sound of lashes from fire
that sting upon open flesh
and the  empty echoes of the hangman’s call
             
despair is born out of lost hope 
when the demon tighten his grip

his grip  around a man’s soul
upon the empty shells the beasts breed

the devils fire burns
as the demon wears the mask of innocent
  then walked upon the path of gold
  but all he found was burning fires and brimstones
                  it`s a place where
a whirlpool surrounds when the mighty winds blow 
an arctic chill that blows with a haunting sound
whistling      
          a freight train into lost hearts
across the bay  
                      the devil 
                               comes a calling
