Hellfire and Black Thunder

Above the field where flames do writhe
The heavens roar in tempest's might
A baleful wrath, both fierce and blithe
Cleave the shroud of endless night

The embers dance as a frenzied choir
As tongues of hell their torches raise
While thunder's drum, a voice of ire
Resounds across the starless haze

Charred expanse, a scarred domain
Lies drenched in hues of molten red
Where shadow’s kin and ash remain
In solemn pact with the dread overhead

No mortal eye such sights may bear
Nor soul endure the vengeful gale
For lightnings rend the murky air
And sin is scrawled in fire’s frail

Lo! Night’s abyss, ablaze with woe
Unveils the specter’s ghastly mien
Where fury’s tide doth ceaseless flow
‘Neath wrathful skies, untamed, and obscene

Yet still the flames in madness leap
As heavens quake with booming tread
And in the chaos none may weep
For all is dust and all is dead
