In desolate depths unknown to man,
lurk and smirk a devilish clan
in twisting caves with toxic air,
feed and breed beast of despair
Past the turns and jagged teeth,
path of wrath digs far beneath
down it coils with fading sight,
care the air, augments your plight
Tread soft, subtle, and brisk,
for more than life you risk
when with the turns you bend,
through the screw, spirits rend
If you yield to rusted gate,
slim and grim your chance and fate
tuck your chin, slip through the cracks,
crawl and sprawl, stirring hacks
A savage, sinful, ruthless king,
growls and howls with echoes ring
drawn to you by scent and sound,
flee to see sunlit ground
Run from fate, need turn back,
trailed by scaled pursuing pack
no time to see how near they reach,
chasing and pacing pertaining the breach
See the torch of morning’s glow,
claws and jaws rise from below
from above, from every side,
thrash and slash, slice your hide
Dash to the nearing, growing light,
screams their dreams, taking flight
fill your lungs with air so clean,
peer in fear for nothing’s seen.
