Midnight calls and the terror begins,

the creeping agony of the task ahead,

to battle the Witch Queen

as she raps on the door, testing for your weakness

and the sliver of black octopus tentacles

reaches in like rubber smoke

to throttle your resolve.

 

Coral Mallor, an unearthly name,

strikes fear into all known men

and even the women that she professes to love

cross themselves in her company

and the Devil, shining red and with muscular sword

in hand looks at his companion and dreads
