Onward to my final judgement as Hades waits in darkness
I cannot run from my demons, they know where I'll hide
I cannot curse them, they see my scars
I cannot hide from them, they know who I am beneath my mask
I'll never be free of them, tormenting me is their eternal task
A mass of broken souls bars my way, it's time to fight
Their eyes are empty, showing no signs of life
It's the work of Lethe, they are at peace but lost for all eternity
The sight ways heavily on me as I push through them desperately
I will never forget the looks on their faces as they stare into the abyss endlessly
Standing at The Entrance of The Underworld
The Diamond Gate, a monolithic behemoth
Where Cerberus waits with snapping jaws and drooling tongues
Like a predator stalking its prey, his eyes are locked on me
Getting past him is easy, all souls may enter but none may ever leave
The Judgement Pavilion towers over me
I feel so insignificant in this harsh unforgiving place
Its enormity drowns me as I climb the steps to the giant door
I knock, it swings open, with a shriek, it's deafening
Trepidation threatens to crush me as I wait to be invited in
