Ignite
Forgive me father
for I have sinned
I have let these lips explore places they shouldn't
I have let myself be pinned
swayed by the storms of lust
I gave in
Bless me now father
for a love has flourished within
He said he has a house
all the way in the suburbs
where I was welcomed to live
and join his mistresses, god I was kicked to the curb
These tears , they leave stains on my soul
I cannot believe how naive I had been
because why would a man with such fortunes love a prole?
I won't keep quiet though , I will rip him apart , bone and skin
As our lord had said "It is mine to avenge ; I will repay
In due time their foot will slip ; their day of disaster is near
and their doom rushes upon them";
he will now obey
Dear love of mine will learn
the consequences of his deeds
He will burn!
if he doesn't cede
For none shall go unpunished
a lesson is to be taught Like a predator , he will continue to fish
Until under the flames he is wrought
So bring upon these fires
the searing , blistering kind
As to bend and break a man like such
he can't just be maligned
Hell is turned to heaven
and heaven, earth
For hell's raining on this orb
fiery like the hearth
