The Great Hellbeast

jagged teeth and razor claws

flaming eyes and snapping jaws

to all those who fall from grace

i am the one who leads the chase

wreathed in flame and shrouded in shadow

i take men up into the gallow

to condemn their souls forever more

to come a-knocking upon satans door

when the master answers and lets them in

that is when my fun begins

i torture them and torment them

for each and every of their sins

and when they break, its then i take

and cast them into the fiery lake

then as they burn, they scream in turn

"who are you cruel, cruel beast

that steals our souls for your own dark feast,

that rips and tears at mortal flesh

to eat the souls that we possess?!"

and as they writhe and scream and burn

i look at them and with this i return

i am the thing which lurks in the dark

the creature that bears the devils mark

it is from flames that i descend

to show some mortals to their end.

i hunt souls on which to feast

it is i, and i alone,

the one you call

the great hellbeast
