Descendit Ad Inferos (The Harrowing Of Hell)

Free fall into black chambers
I can hear the weeping choir
I land at the gate exhausted and pained
He leaves me behind
And I view through the open door
The multitudes of those in eternal gloom
I see their faces strained in utmost fear
Staring into those fiery eyes
How did he find me?
I look around in curiosity
'Til I see footprints in the sand
Running next to a trail of tears
He came to the gateway, taking my place
Heard me crying desperation
The screaming of demons inside of the fire
Unleash upon those that will house them
Beasts turning vocal, exploding the screams
A battle that's already won
But they will find that the brightest of fires
Cannot blot out the burn of the Son
Aware of the efforts they pose being in vain
He appears in the doorway
With something under His arm
A bag overflowing with sacrifice
I could never fully comprehend
No need to escape by my own strength
As I am carried away
Flight towards the heavens with Venus in mind
Strength of a second chance
The screaming of demons inside of the fire
Unleash upon those that will house them
Beasts turning vocal exploding the screams
A battle that's already won
But they will find that the brightest of fires
Cannot blot out the burn of the Son
Aware of the efforts they pose being in vain
Their anger explained
I look in His eyes with tears in my own
As He drops it in the ocean
Never to be seen again
