Infernal fires flicker underground
And pearly clouds of white do float above
But I do love the burning smells I’ve found
The licking flames and billowed smoke hereof
For nowhere else does fire blaze so bright
As in the realm below the one we tread
For nowhere else can darkness seem so light
As in a realm where all the light has fled
So why is it that burning rays of sun
Above a world of blinding light so stark
Are so preferred upon oblivion
A world of peacefulness and blissful dark
For there are those who think of night as day
And hell as heaven reached another way
