Look Upon the Light

Broken limbs bound to funeral pyres, torches lit, skyward
 Ceremonious light for the damned, the lord is now upon you
 In chains they dread the coming day, cast away from home
 Condemned with sins too great to atone, look now upon the light
 Blood-red hatred and fear light the night
 Broken limbs bound to funeral pyres, torches lit, skyward
 Ceremonious light for the damned, the lord is now upon you
 United in fear they cast them to the dark, the unknown beyond ourselves
 You are a warning to those who dare to transgress against their will
 As fear feeds greed they contemplate the worth of life
 A price paid in blood and fire to those with eyes to see them burn
 Boundless scornful hatred are the fires that blaze a storm of smoke
 Breathe me in and sing of justice as the innocents unfurl
 I can't escape the wrath of deities, I beheld his flames to watch my world burn
 Detestable, scorned, unbowed
 Unworthy of your perishing world
 I cannot live for want of dying
 I cannot see for embers block my view
 "My god is in your head
 His fire is in your blood
 This world is in his hands
 You are beyond repent"
 Look now upon your final season, the grey canvas of snow and frost
 Look now upon the light, your vessel into the dark
 Dare I seek guidance as I pass through
 Dare I seek reprieve, dare I live
 And the stars will fall, burned grey, floating down
 Distant lights begin to fade from view
 The incense of flesh is the scent of the church
