Behold the Infernal Kingdom of Hell

Behold the kingdom of the infernal fire The land of the cruel majesty of war See the barren landscape of despair Where clouds of thunder roll over the ruins In the mayhem of endless carnage’s nights The black victory of death As the kingdom of eternal sorrow Slept on the arms of forever The fallen archangel Possessor of the command of the heavenly host Call him the Devil or Satan His children are sin and death A black tower rises afar In the ruins of that which once was life I gaze into the eternity of darkness And in the distance, I see the flames of Hell And as I walked among the fires of hell Delighted with the enjoyments of genius Which to angels look like torment and insanity... (Parts adopted from "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" by William Blake, 1790)
