one blessing, one curse
in this tomb may be found
one angel, one devil
behind stonework are bound
perfection, corruption
bright truth, dark deceit
all enslaved in this prison
where life and death meet
all reasoning ends
not chaos, but madness-
reality bends
'round this portal of evil
this gateway to hell
this reflection of heaven
a seraphim fell
a red demon 'rose
her mission was duty
his one goal, he chose
but the lord of existence
gave approval to neither
it devised their demise
without pity for either
or regard for their quests
it wrapped them in marble
it laid them to rest
it deprived them of choices
left them empty and null
robbed them of their voices
so here they will crawl
till some chance twist of fate
should favor her prayers
or savor his hate
may that time never come
to our mere mortal eyes
for her smile would save some
but all touched by him, dies
