GRAVITY FALLS: THERAPRISM

On the day Bill Cipher died
he used a trick he'd never tried.

Shattered, broken, but not yet dead
Cipher left the con man's head
A desperate plea, some panicked prayers
to meet the frilly guy upstairs

In a tank outside of space
the opposites met face-to-face
Just one shot to live again
he pled his case to his old friend

"Look, from one God to another
who cares if I tried to kill those brothers?
They're all ants, it's all a game.
Let's press restart and try again
I'm too cool and fun to die!
Just give this angle one more tri!"

the ax sighed in a knowing way
he expected this is what Bill'd say.

"You cannot regrow through denial
you'll have to face my hardest trial
See my program to the end
then you may live again."

"Am I fighting demons? Eating ghosts?"

"One way to absolve your crimes
To change your form will take some time"

Bill could not believe his luck
this salamander was a schmuck!
Easier than he thought it,
he faked remorse-
the guppy bought it!
In combat Bill was undefeated
whatever challenge, he could beat it

Bill shook the Ax's hand with glee
HOW HARD COULD THESE TRIALS BE?
