Analysis of Devils Gate
Enter the flames,
Where evil lurks,
Commence into darkeness,
Where thought without concious works,
Make no effort,
Nor even try,
Undress the soul,
With no shame comply,
Rest upon a pillow of tears,
Grasp what gathers,
Be afraid of fears,
Dwell in the black,
Of uncompassionate shadows,
Feel the pain of hurt,
Where existance reaps only sorrows.........................BAD-Mc.
