Into the Inferno

Everyone here talks of Hell

As a place to never dwell

A world of fire,

pain, torment,

and savage creatures alike

But let’s turn that around

And make it a pretty neat town

Welcome to the Inferno

Come on down to the capital Dis

A large city of wonders and bliss

Check out its stores, malls, and on

Come visit its popular attraction Babylon

Where its employees melt your heart's fire

By providing you your greatest desire

There may be danger and scrutiny

But fear not,

The Doomsguard is always on duty

Last but not least

Visit Inferno Tower,

Where it is he, the devil Lu, rules with power

He and the demons here may seem crude and scary

Especially with all those contracts

Laced with souls they carry

Yet you'll be surprised to see

By how truly kind they can be

They work, and live, and breathe

Just like you and me

And all the rest

If you're curious where to look from home

It's not far,

It’s right underneath the city of Brimstone

Check it out, drop on down

Come visit this supernatural town

Once you get to know this version of Hell

You’ll be thinking that it’s pretty swell
