Our flames defined

Holy, is the man to the flame
Calmed in its presence of evil
His passion fuels it brighter.
The man lights up in flames
To muster the chaos away.
The man self-immolates
His own cause for his own end.

He controls the flame to her end.
If she fought for passion
He tied her hands.
If she healed the sick
He called the village to spew shame.
If she was made unpure
Throw the fuel at her feet.
If she dare to speak
Spark the flame.
If she even have a brain
Watch her burn up in flames.

Her soul is made to burn
For the security of a man's soul.
