Barren Branches of a Willow Tree Die

Barren branches of a willow tree die


Barren branches of a willow tree die
As I conjure the fallen soul of man.

A flood of firefly light the night sky,
A meteor shower of sinners lost.

I command the spirit to enact my plan
With scant regard for what it may cost.

Dour dim light cascades slowly as I sign
Away my soul for dominion over all I scan.

Limitless power poisons all in time,
I am doomed, no light left in the soul I damn.
