TO HELL AND BACK

The sky was black 
Not a single star in sight
I could feel the darkness
As I shiver with fear in the night 

Howling sounds sat upon the wind 
Wild beasts once dead
Rises from beneath 
With vengeance in their wings 

I stumbled into the arms
Of that Dragon of old
God's first created serpent 
The enemy 
That seeks my eternal soul 

I yell and screamed 
At the top of my voice 
But the were no sound heard 
To my frantic noise 

Blackness of darkness 
With a stinging frost that burned my flesh 
My feet was cushioned by reptiles 
As their venomous teeth 
And my blood slowly meshed 

Then the Son arise 
From his place of rest
His light penetrated the darkness 
And he snatched my soul 
From the confines of hell.
