Black Velvet Rose: Book of Thorns
Standing in this forgotten hallway...
Facing gray steel doors...
I reach out my hand to grasp the handle...
My heart skips a beat...
Darkness engulfs me as I push on through...
Faint whispers, the smell of death...
Tiny fingers pricking at my flesh...
Ghosts of the past floating by...
This hallway... these rooms... forgotten for years...
Tell a story... of tortured, mangled bodies...
Writings and etchings on the walls...
Of the insane minds left to dwell in their own filth...
I stop at the first door... pushing to go in...
In the corner a ghost lying forgotten...
Reliving each beating... gagged and bound...
Upon the bed left to die... begging for mercy...
He turns his head to look... demon eyes from the pits of HELL...
A piercing... never-ending stare...
Telling all in three simple words...
“Go to HELL”...
I move on towards the next door...
Pausing for a moment...
Eyes wide with excitement...
As I shake hands with the Devil...
Peering through the small lust laden window...
Sits Julie cowering in a corner...
Blood smeared walls...
Hellfire and damnation... all she knows...
Glowing fingertips...
Eyes black as obsidian rocks...
She rides in the Devil’s army...
Ready to steal the soul of all who enter...
Caught between two dimensions...
With nowhere to go...
Determined to give back...
What was given to her...
At the third door I find...
The Devil himself...
Ready and waiting to condemn all...
Saying there are my children... I’m proud...
They all came to me... begging for redemption...
In this asylum I sent them to train...
Soul Stealer, Demon God, Reaper of Hell...
Their job completed their days spent...
Left in their' own hell to repent...
I drove them insane... was extremely easy this task...
The down and out... sold their souls at a high price...
To escape reality... and live in eternal sin...
But in the end... repent they shall...
The contract signed and sealed...
Their souls belong to me...
Demented as they may be...
