I could hear your voice calling me from within,
As I waded through the waters of hell and sin.
No idea of direction or time,
It was haunting, yet oddly sublime.
I almost found myself at peace,
My problems and my worries they just seemed to cease.

But that is just the allure,
Of the demon trying to ensure,
My fate, for all of eternity.

Soon I realized that I couldn't stay for long,
And that's when the demon sang his song.
"Stay with me just for now,
And great power to you I will endow."

There he stood in front of me,
It's not what you would expect to see.
He looked just as any normal person would,
Except
His eyes they were as black as coal,
And I knew that he lusted for my soul.

I turned my back,
And went on my way,
Not listening to anything he would say.
I knew that I had to be strong,
I couldn't slip up or turn wrong.

There were no days, only night,
Every passing moment was a constant fight.
Your voice had been silent for quite awhile,
It was the only thing helping a place so vile.

As I made my way through the treacherous pit,
There again was the demon tempting me to quit.
But I wouldn't heed what he said.
For I had no blood left to be bled,
I knew he couldn't truly hurt me,
And past him there was an exit that I could see.

This was my chance,
I pushed past without a backwards glance.
I knew I had been struggling for what felt like forever,
But I pushed on, ready to be done with this endeavor.

Just as I neared the end,
I heard your voice calling out,
begging me to stay,
but it was just the demon's clever trick,
His last attempt at keeping me from getting away.

During my time in this hell I learned a thing or two,
The demon had went to far so I bid him adieu.
At first he was quite confused.
But then I cut his head clean off his shoulders,
And his world grew that much colder.

I left without ever looking back,
For the past was behind me and fading black.
