All consuming rage

Fills me with every step

Sleights real and imagined

Echoes of loss and pain

Images of deceit

Still running through my mind

Retribution

Will not be denied

I would walk through flames

And deserts of burning sand

To have my vengeance

Hell itself can’t stop me

Through the wood of suicides

Up stairs that run with blood

Hell itself won’t stop me

No pits of fetid mud

Nor Hell’s city Dis

Can stop my revenge

Righteous indignation lights my path

Singlemindedness drives me

Until I have my reprisal

No beast of judgement

Leopard, lion, or wolf

No better angels to dissuade me

Through the distant fog

I smell putrescent flesh

Hear the weeping shadows

Air full of sighs and dust

Enter the circle of violence

The deep and savage way

Cross the lake of fire

Traverse the icy plains

Unmoved by pain,

Agony, and ecstasy

Castigation

Hell can’t stop me

Through the wood of suicides

Up stairs that run with blood

Hell itself won’t stop me

No pits of fetid mud

Nor Hell’s city Dis

Can stop my revenge

Righteous indignation lights my path

Singlemindedness drives me

Until I have my reprisal

No beast of judgement

Leopard, lion, or wolf

Vengeance is mine
