Screams echoes through the air
this is not the dragon's lair
no instead it is the pits of hell
where the fears of life do swell
down here are the furnaces of light
and no possible way to give flight
what am I suppose to do
I am now displayed as if in a zoo
what did I do to end up here
was it the murder or was it the beer
maybe it was the nightly trysts
how did I end up like this
my soul is burning in eternal fire
the dead are building the funeral pyre
over there is the man of evil
his devils are medieval
dashing here and there
dashing everywhere
doing his dastardly deeds
even brushing out his steeds
this place is so hot one cannot breath
this is a warning take heed.
