9. The Flames of Sheol 4:54
A terrifying look into the abyss—where flames never die and souls of
the wicked are lost forever. The domain of divine punishment.

VERSE 1
A wasteland vast, where nothing stands,
A desert void, by unseen hands.
Seven stars like mountains burn,
Lost angels bound, their fate they learn.
PRE-CHORUS
For they have fallen, cast aside,
Stars of heaven, stripped of pride.
Their sins consumed, in flame confined,
The chains of darkness, souls maligned.
CHORUS
The flames of Sheol, the fire's roar,
The damned are lost forevermore.
The wicked wail, the fallen cry,
In the abyss where angels die.
VERSE 2
I saw a cleft, a chasm wide,
A fire that blazed, no place to hide.
The pillars burned, the shadows screamed,
A prison forged where demons dreamed.
PRE-CHORUS
Uriel speaks, with voice so grim,
These are the stars that fell from Him.
Transgressors cursed, forever chained,
In Sheol's flames, by darkness stained.
CHORUS
The flames of Sheol, the fire's roar,
The damned are lost forevermore.
The wicked wail, the fallen cry,
In the abyss where angels die.
BRIDGE
A lake of fire, a sea of pain,
The screams of souls, a cursed domain.
No light can pierce, no hope can rise,
The wicked burn beneath the skies.
GUITAR SOLO
BREAKDOWN
Behold the flames, a judgment clear,
The chaff consumed, the cursed draw near.
A sea of torment, a fiery tide,
The souls of sin, forever fried.
OUTRO
The flames of Sheol, the fire's roar,
The damned are lost forevermore.
The wicked wail, the fallen cry,
In the abyss where angels die.
