The torturers will gather in Hades.
There will be no pleasantries.
They will be stripped of all honors.
They will be awakened
to the baseness of their crimes.
They will be purged of all justifications.
Their smiles will be banished.
They will see their true faces.
They will be surrounded by the screams
of their victims.
They will understand who they are.
