South of Heaven

South of Heaven In shadow of the crimson moon admits the devil’s hordes Eternal death descends decreed by the oblivious overlords The forgotten of the ignescent inferno raise their swords Dexterous demons devour and yell as they march towards Enter Satan’s shore serving despondent deviant destruction Where grace of love is liquefiable within deluded deduction Thoughts of freedom fermented with fear in their abduction Abandoned anguish roams rampant after incursive induction The harvest of heinous horrors throughout the wasteland Souls of yesterday yield their yearning in demonic demand Souls of morrow tormented and tangled where they stand For Lucifer’s legions laughing have the ulterior upper hand Now lie misty meadows of a dark daunting decadent dwell The forests fertile with fescues a feculent foreboding smell Tempestuous tempest of sorrows surround the satanic swell We dine & dance in a degenerative dominion of earthly hell.

Amazing alliteration, (your signature style) rather dark and ghoulish theme, should do well in the contest.
