The magnitude of my dark dismay and turpitude,
I cannot adequately convey,
for my tranquility has been turned into intolerable turmoil,
my heart once so cordial and vivacious is now filled with terrible lament,
as Death's dark,cavernous door is opened before me.
My cowardice and avarice have at long last caught up with me,
a life spent running from truth and goodness has come to it's dreadful end,
my poor saddened soul languishes with inescapable lament,
as I fall into this deep fiery pit where the unbearable stench of burning sulfur accosts my still alert senses.
I stand before the Evil One's throne lost and alone trembling in fear,
knowing that because of my sins and irresponsible deeds that there is no escape nor chance of sweet redemption for me,
no reprieve from this terrible woe which has justly befallen me,
so I await my irrevocable sentence in the fiery pits of Hell.
An eerie bell tolls my most secret deeds to extol,
all of my unrepentant deeds slowly flash before my eyes,
and I am ashamed,
silence reigns as the roll of sinners is called with every sin revealed both large and small,
the undeniable evidence of lives led in sin told before the ungodly jury,
in this dreary burning pit of doom.
When my name is at last called my soul shrinks frightened by the horde of demons Satan's own hateful minions who stand to take me to my new home,
they grab my arms and drag me through the burning gates to guide me into that horrifying place where my sentence is to be eternally served,
I am to spend it all languishing in anguish and torment to pay oft all the evil which I have done in my life,
and am cast into the fierce,fiery lake of Hell kicking and screaming for mercy that shall not be granted.
