Inferno VII (Violence)

MAGUS!
MAGIC!
POWER!
MAGUS!

MAGUS!
MAGIC
MAGIC
POWER
MAGUS

Seventh circle beckons, violence reigns supreme
Magus descends to war's infernal dream
Legions clash through time's cruel haze
Roman phalanx meets nuclear blaze

Spartan warriors impaled on M16s
Mongol hordes gunned down by Marines
Zulu impi crushed by Panzer tanks
While Napoleonic troops bomb their flanks

Eternal war! No peace, no rest!
The violent damned put to the test
Magus witnesses time's brutal fold
As history's killers break and mold

Viking berserkers hacked by robot drones
Samurai sliced by depleted uranium bones
Civil War soldiers gassed in trenches deep
As ancient archers loose arrows through jeeps

The Magus falters, drawn to endless fray
His magic flares, longing to join the affray
But deeper purpose stays his deadly hand
As souls respawn on blood-soaked land

Attila's hordes clash with Navy SEALs
Aztec warriors taste modern steel
Crusaders burn in napalm's embrace
While Viet Cong snipe Redcoats with grace

Eternal war! No peace, no rest!
The violent damned put to the test
Magus witnesses time's brutal fold
As history's killers break and mold

Through rivers of blood and fields of bone
The Magus presses on, but not alone
Violence etched upon his very soul
As Hell's dark purpose takes its toll

Deeper he delves to circles yet unknown
The price of passage violently shown
What horrors wait beyond this strife?
In Death's domain, what counts as life?

Aztec hearts ripped out by Nazi blades
Vietcong garroted in Spartan raids
Persian Immortals drawn and quartered
By guillotines, their ranks disordered

Zulu impis boiled in scalding oil
As Cossacks charge through barbed wire coil
Samurai commit seppuku en masse
While drones rain hellfire on Spartan pass

Eternal war! No peace, no rest!
The violent damned put to the test
Magus witnesses time's brutal fold
As history's killers break and mold

Roman legions flayed by Comanche
Their skin peeled off, a gory avalanche
Taliban fighters strangled by garrote
As Mongol hordes in iron maidens rot

Waffen Legions gassed by Zyklon B
While English longbows fell SEAL Team Three
Incan warriors on breaking wheels spin
As cruise missiles tear through Bedouin

Templar Knights waterboarded in blood
By Viet Minh in Mekong's flood
Kamikaze pilots burn at the stake
While Janissaries in brazen bulls bake

Gurkhas disemboweled by Celtic tribes
As Apache rains napalm on Jacobite vibes
Prussian troops drawn by horses four ways
While Minutemen in iron coffins decay

Eternal war! No peace, no rest!
The violent damned put to the test
Magus witnesses time's brutal fold
As history's killers break and mold

Through endless carnage, the Magus wades
His soul scarred by violence's blades
Each spell cast, a battle won
But war eternal's never done

Blood-drenched and weary, onward he treads
Past mountains of the screaming dead
Hell's martial symphony rings in his ears
A chorus of agony, drowning his fears

What wisdom gained from ceaseless strife?
What purpose served by endless life?
These questions haunt the Magus's mind
As darker circles he's yet to find

The clash of steel, the roar of guns
The death cries of a billion sons
All echo in his magic's core
As he leaves the seventh circle's gore

But violence's taint now stains his heart
Its savage rhythm, his fatal art
For in Hell's depths, one truth holds fast
The Magus's innocence cannot last
