Underneath The Mortal Ground

by My Decadent   Jan 26, 2007


Roses with their poisioned thorns
Hanged by the satyr's horns
Bleed their nectar down on your skin
And breed their venom with your sin.

Demons with inverted wings fall
Crushing spiders in their crawl
Rusted chains rammed into your face
Maggots on your body - such a disgrace.

Burning flames of Leviathan's son,
Cries of despair of the Fallen One,
Tears that stain these gates of Hell
Where Hades and Thanatos used to dwell.

Mutilated silence echoes in the night
As Acheron overwhelms you with his might
And withering souls dance in the dark
While his curse of doom rips at your heart.
