Return to Hell

Fire tears through the tangled trees
Licking at my throat
At first its just a flesh wound
But I can tell I have been smote

I try to shut the burn out
Close my eyes and smile big
Try to relax my burning body
This blow will snap me like a twig

The fire burns yet deeper
Tearing through my swirling head
I don’t feel safe any longer
For reality I dread

Boinling blood pumps through my veins
Burning right on through my skin
I go limp, the light goes out
There’s no way that I will win

The world is now a haze
Of smoke and dark and pain
I come to once again
Just as my feet are chained

Then once again there is fire
But its different than it was
For this fire is eternal
In my broken state I pause

Everyone who stands around me
Is on fire and chained as well
And all at once I realize
I’ve been thrown back into hell
