Inferno IV (Greed)

Magus descends to Greed's domain
Where molten gold flows like toxic rain
Damned souls writhe in gilded pain
Their avarice now their ball and chain

Pluto sneers from his golden throne
As misers and spendthrifts alike atone
In boiling bullion, they scream and moan
Their flesh seared off, right to the bone

Fourth circle burns with liquid greed
The Magus fights the golden creed
Through rivers of wealth, he must wade
His own desires, he must evade

Bankers boil in vaults of their own making
CEOs simmer, their empires breaking
Politicians drown in campaign donations
All victims of their wanton fixations

Fourth circle burns with liquid greed
The Magus fights the golden creed
Through rivers of wealth, he must wade
His own desires, he must evade

The Magus feels the pull of wealth
Temptation threatens his spiritual health
But with arcane will, he resists the lure
Of riches that poison, both foul and impure

Demons with golden eyes attack
Their claws dripping wealth, a vicious pack
The Magus counters with spells of frost
Freezing the gold, at terrible cost

Fourth circle burns with liquid greed
The Magus fights the golden creed
Through rivers of wealth, he must wade
His own desires, he must evade

Bursting free from Greed's gilded cage
The Magus leaves behind wealth's rage
His magic stronger, his will refined
In Hell's depths, what will he find?

Bursting free from Greed's gilded cage
The Magus leaves behind wealth's rage
His magic stronger, his will refined
In Hell's depths, what will he find?

Gold-soaked and weary, he presses on
To darker circles where hope seems gone
The test of Greed now left behind
But greater horrors soon he'll find

But greater horrors soon he'll find
