Wreathed In Flame

Through centuries past, generations of fools preside
Hope and salvation, the promised land
Scriptures passed on, venom concealed in hereditary swine
Flooding veins, a black death, vision divine
Tenderfoots tread the path to their lair
A generous prize for the price of a soul.

Seasons bring tomorrow's rain, to wash away our sins
Frozen in the winter's pain, still beating within
Crystallising, finite suspension
Hibernation, insidious devolution
Seasons bring tomorrow's rain, to wash away our sins
Frozen in the winter's pain, still beating within
Crystallising, finite suspension
Hibernation, malignant cell structures.

Mechanisms contracting, steel grinding steel
Circuitry reforming, becoming reformed.

Hybrid, devoid, programmed, emotionless
Sacred, martyr, worship, the hand of god!

Seas of blank faces, washed out with pride
Awaiting the number, my calling!
Uniform hatred, prime directive
Blueprint for a better world!

Flocks of the blind, march silent in time
Walk brave through the darkness, the spectres our guides
The day of our judgement, the saviour proclaims
A vile winged serpent, with a head wreathed in flames.

Legions of dead nations rise to command
Battalions drum the pulse of earth's thunder
Tidal waves of white light flood the extermination
Vaporising species, souls effervescing one last time.

Atmospheres vacuum, thieving air from lungs, moisture from eyes
Skin cracks in spider web symmetry, stripping white bone
Gusts taking dust to a spirit realm unknown
An eternity in torment, where ancestors dwell.
