Marionette

If he could see the gleam in heaven
He could believe her once again
Hiding in the heart that's cold and blind.

She would demand his pure devotion
Like a drifter in a storm
Searching for a place that's safe and warm.

And she will be there once again
Before his plight
Embrace the soul
The treason set aflame.

As she steals his soul away
Before the war
For then he'll be
A mere puppet in her game.

When the feeling dies
And the seeds are sown
When she calls his name
And his fear of the Godless will be from afar.

She will steal his soul
All the joy will bleed
To concede for the heaven's lie
See the lighting strike through the rain
When the feeling dies.

He feels the demon control him
Tear his mind away again
Tortured by the lust
Inside in dream.

When he sees her face in the fire
Like a burning burial ground
Taken to where this hell is called home.

And in the solitude of prayers
He feels the pain
A crushing blow
His savior never came.

As if she held him in her arms
Falling blind
Betrayed by love
The loner bleeds the same.

When the feeling dies
And the seeds are sown
When she calls his name
And his fear of the Godless will be from afar.

She will steal his soul
All the joy will bleed
To concede for the heaven's lie
See the lighting strike through the rain.

When the healing dies
And the words have gone
With the gall to blame
And his love of the helpless will be torn apart.

She will force his hand
And the sick will bleed
To control his faith to defy
In the frightening light though the pain
Whe the healing dies.
