Land Of The Dead

Deep inside the pits of hell,
volcano's erupt and lava swells.
Expelled to the surface, with a vile rasp,
mortals now within easy grasp.

Hell hounds trail the scent of souls,
pure and corrupt equally exposed.
Scales fall from the leathery hides,
insanity flames in scarlet eyes.

Inside walls of thunder and pain,
silenced and crushed are throbbing veins.
The crust shatters as the earth shakes,
broken bodies left in their wake.

Our world now at its worst,
trapped within a demonic curse.
Barren and desolate, rivers run red.
End of the world, now land of the dead.
