When the dead depart
They follow a path
To the realms of the dead
Called the underworld
It is the land known as Hell
And in present ideology
It is a land of punishment
But Lord Hades is the master
Of a realm of the dead
Not merely the sinful dead
But all who have lost life
They are kept in darkness
Due to the location
Deep within the earth
As far below
As Heaven is high
Hades does not need worship
He exists without belief
He is able to be violent
But all of his nature
Is not wicked
For someone must rule
The land of the dead
