Where the incubus creep

Infernal design  
equipped to malign  
To center your time  
In an endless decline  
 
Hell has been touted  
as heaven, rerouted  
where his seduction is clouded  
Lest the spirit be shrouded  
 
The chasm’s too deep  
And these walls are too steep  
Never able to sleep  
Where the incubus creep  
 
Commit to the shame  
Of the gatekeepers maim  
where the veil is aflame  
And the crust is the same  
 
The raze of the rotten  
Where grace is ill-gotten  
The moaning;  
forgotten  
where burdens are boughten  
 
Fevered and shivery  
Ascension misdelivery  
Cruel, bane and slithering  
The serpent is withering  
 
The musk of your fear  
Leaves a layer of sheer  
And the scar of the sear  
Defends the unclear  
 
No rest in the sable  
It’s daunting;  
Unstable  
The devil is able  
To rage fill this cradle
