I'Estremita

Reason in unison with misfortune the line crossed between Sunday and sin seasons change 
the pathway to purity fades away, the unsympathetic audience erodes the frail sermon delivered 
by the dioceses best lier the philosophy remains steadfast the willing gives way to the demise of 
a uninvited demigod. He speaks in ancient tongue it's clear his judgement has begun deception 
reaps the charade of malvagita to decipher the decimated shame done in his name shout the 
hymns with precision bare the marks for which you are sanctuary. Untrue halos will fall exodus 
will remain silent behold the lamb take heed the armies on aramaic ground the sea will shallow 
and so shall you drown.The begotten is anew and from his temple the choice has been given to 
you, the splintered scripture of the serpent has perished no longer will his seed bare fruit with 
my grasp I untie the noose from tragedy we build infinite.
