The man in the moon
Sings me too rest
The orange gentlemen
I love but detest
The devil with red eyes
Laughs and leers
The voices of children
Ring in my ears
The demons laughter
Bouncing off the walls
The gun against my head
Out of my hand it falls
Out of hell into the light
No more fire, no more fight

Short and sweet. The intro sets us up for something we don't see coming, and the title is a very good choice for the poem. Beautiful imagery throughout.
