This was partly inspired by an overherard comment, but also by Nightwish's "The Poet and the Pendulum" song.

I couldn't decide which version made sense, so there's three versions.

~L.~

Molten Chains of Stone Burdens

Version one.

Molten chains drag the tortured soul,
With stones of burden that you can't farewell,
Body ripped and pulled into a black hole,
Your flesh repeatedly devoured by the hounds of hell.

~~~

Version two.

As flesh's repeatedly devoured by the hounds of hell,
Your body's ripped and pulled into a black hole,
With stones of burden that you can't farewell,
Molten chains dragging your tortured soul.

~~~

Version three.

With stones of burden that you can't farewell,
Repeatedly devoured is your flesh by the hounds of hell,
Your ripped body fallen into a deep black hole,
As molten chains drag away your tortured soul.
