To see hell right in front of your eyes,
As if all the tales of heaven were lies,
To suffer in flames and corruption,
Humans will be the cause of their own destruction,
When the smoke clears and the embers die,
You will awaken to eternal cries,
To return up above to see those you love,
You return not the same, bearing the black glove,
For the friends you had are gone,
The past few years feel so long,
You heart is no longer the same from the place on high,
You wish to once again see hell in your eyes.
