Suffering


Broken perfection, Hell slips into Heaven Sin crashes, and its fire causes damage Touching every man and all his possessions Burning flesh Searing hearts Breaking wills Skin swelters into scales, slowly baking As your lungs inhale poisonous air, That sizzles with your hate and fear The only escape is light Which fades as you approach it, The darkness proceeds to encroach in You succumb to your choking It’s hopeless Dead
