"Descending into the abyss"

Through fire and smoke

We travel down deep into the caves

Deep into the earth

Blackness befalls our every turn 

Mist swells and chokes out the light 

The dark ensues

We are trapped

Deeper

Deeper

We

Descend

In

To

Pitch

And 

Dark

We are all alone

In this Hell

To breathe is hastened by our every step

Villians are among us

Shapeshifters

Demons

They hide their horns and tail

They hide in plain sight

We must bear arms

Pick up the broad sword

And buckled shield

Fight for the innocent

Fight for the weak

Slay the beast 

Where it sleeps

Slay it now

Before it breeds

More Hate

Kill the infection

Eliminate the grief

Knock down the walls

Destroy its halls

Burn its flags of shame

Reveal its true intent

Pierce its heart 

Kill it dead!
