Seven Circles of Hades

Thirst is in the temples Heat consuming you Desire for a gulp of water Under the frying fire The only thing that matters It is a drop of water All riches of the world Are in front of you You can have any You want to You can reach your hand And touch the sky Or pull the moon Like a ripe apple And hold it tight You can board A shiny heavenly boat That is crossing the sky And fly away In to the realm of unknown Seductive alluring world Anything you desire Is in a reach for you With just one gesture Of your hand But there is only One thing you want to A drop of water on your Chapped burning lips Thirst is everywhere It is in your mouth Your veins your heart Your eyes your hair Your stomach your ears Your mind is going blank The only drop of water Is on your mind But you can’t get it There is no living water To be found in the world That was devoid Of the presence of God At the bottom of hades All riches of the world Are there for you To be reached and savored But the thirst is all consuming fire That burns your insides And the water is the only thing That you lust and desire The living water is devoid From the underworld And all-consuming thirst Is what you got For eternity to come If only you knew that living water Is the only thing that matters
