Snake bugs, bone bugs, skull bugs, flesh bugs, blood bugs, poisonous death bugs. This is the very bottom of hell, the wriggling poisonous bugs of hell. Death bugs, organ bugs, maggot demon bugs. Tempted by the moans of the dead, the poisonous bugs' counting song. Eat the flesh, eat the bones, suck the blood, tear out the innards. Poisonous Princess of Hell, devour the evil!
