The Burning
Sacred flags of the witch hunt
lay tossed in arrogant flames
and then devoured on the ashes
the pitiful bones of their remains
so in gleeful disunity they rose to their bestial cause
delivered all their children to Babylonian whores
Ah we know the fires eat your soul
you are brought to the despicable
by the evil that you know
and in the raged rages demonstration sends you wild
you cannot break the parchment of the curse you have defined
sold to the hatred
so bitter in your mind
is the mountain you have to climb
Broken on the fallout of every single time
dreams of ever loving you finally left behind
scared by the stitches sewing together life
and walk away in the tear drops
you’re never going to find
Praise them all for every excuse
hit them hard below the belt for disbelieving you
Yer you know its a painting by numbers of the truth
still its better than the nightmare
that quietly wakes you up
Yer you know the hound is at your heels
its fangs are tearing into you with everything you don’t feel
Yer you know the hound is at your heels
its fangs are tearing into you with everything you don’t feel
Stand alone on the precipice of hell
look into the flames you didn’t know but knew so very well
it’s your love in its destruction
the torture that you feel
You are alone if it’s an illusion that you choose
if it’s some way in the card game you would prefer to lose
you are alone in the iniquity
believing that in solitude is all that there can be
you are alone in a prescription of chemically
a single unnoticed response of everything you can be
Yer you know its a painting by numbers of the truth
still its better than the nightmare
that quietly wakes you up
Yer you know the hound is at your heels
its fangs are tearing into you with everything you don’t feel
Yer you know the hound is at your heels
its fangs are tearing into you with everything you don’t feel
