I closed my eyes as I took my last breath.
My family had gathered to lay me to rest.
When I awoke I could see the other side.
It was Hades himself just passing time.
On top of a boat He had offered a ride.
I gave him two coins then stepped inside.
Over exhausted to play any tricks.
Him and I just floated down the river of Styx.
In the distance was the kingdom of desolation.
I soon arrived at my final destination.
I greeted it with open arms knowing this was the place that I belonged.

At the gates there stood tall,
Cerberus with three heads and all.
I held out my hand to see what they would do.
One took a sniff and another did too.
The third, excited, licked my face.
They jumped after getting that familiar taste.
The gates opened wide like a cage, releasing all of it's deep hatred and rage.
I entered without any hesitation, while the demons inside witnessed and bowed to my reincarnation.

I took my seat upon my throne so torn.
Placed upon my head was a crown of seven thorns.
Each thorn a remembrance of my sins.
Each earned from the beast that lives within.
Placed in my hand was the scepter of revenge
Forged from the fires of hell it was singed.
I took my place as the great abomination, here in my kingdom of desolation.
