Lamb Off the Altar
The birthmark of Satan
a spherical star
Old curse in the distance
new devils at war
His prophecy stolen
the markings of Cain
Madonna the virgin
rebirth unattained
Melody of darkness
blasphemies hymn
The garden left burning
original sin
Tomorrow in mourning
this moment on fire
The lamb off the altar
—redemption expired
