Desperation Hymn

Kingdom never comes, your will is never done
 May sulphur blacken your wicked lungs, breath deeply
 I'll drown your earth in brimstone
 Spread wide the engulfing abyss wreathed in embers
 Desperation means little if I've nothing to bereave
 I fearlessly stand in the wrath of majesty
 Come the flood of fire, break the skin asunder
 Break me free of earthly chains, cast no judgement of virtue
 Without guilt or remorse, bring me purity, bring me resolve
 Come the flood of fire, break the skin asunder
 Dim the light of day, come the flood of fire
 Burn the sins away, bring the end of all
 Strip me bare of all I love and bring me pain
 Know what life means when all is lost
 The wind sings a solemn dirge for me alone
 Unsung in tongues, forgotten through the ages
 There's no salvation to be found in death's embrace, when the embers die
 I fade for nothing, burn for no one, burn for no one
 Bring the wind that carries me with the snow, onto hallowed ground
 Behold the stones that cradle the ashes cold, ashes cold, dead trees thy altar...
