Book Burning - Sodom

Slashing the wantonness, grudging deeds

With hearts that have no right to beat

Whispering echoes forecasting my fate

From heaven to hell I spirit away

The shadows of watchers haunting my soul

Replacing my life for a handful of gold

The slings and the fetters of outrageous foes

Peremptory baseness where glory once shone

Losing the ground at the end of the light

Beheading myself, no more power to fight

Horror beyond the unnatural fear

Reflection of lies, so threatening near

Apathetic servants of the mighty evil

Rushing demise, blind decision

Exhaustion of my will, habitual turning

Lifeless objects, peaceful symbols, book burning

The scriptures of freedom devoured by fire

Flushes of anger immortal desire

Appeal to the Gods is ceasing unheard

Lamentations sounded imploring absurd

My rage unleashed and my glare is reborn

Sunshine removed by a cold winter storm

Deliver me God from this treacherous crowd

These crystal nights bring the life to naught

Losing the ground at the end of the light

Beheading myself, no more power to fight

Horror beyond the unnatural fear

Reflection of lies, so threatening near

Apathetic servants of the mighty evil

Rushing demise, blind decision

Exhaustion of my will, habitual turning

Lifeless objects, peaceful symbols, book burning
