Thurifer

Stricken by the lightning of desire
 Chosen by temptation's wicked ghost
 Saviour of the young and of the fragile
 Healer of the ignorant and poor
 After every lighted pyre
 Ashes fertilize the soil
 Dig into your weakness for an answer
 Dig until you find a reason why
 Cursing younger souls with your stigma
 Yet protected by the house of god
 And with every broken promise
 There's a cold, well spoken word
 ♪
 Preach for solitude
 Sin remission
 Leave your will and your thoughts by the door
 And surrender who you are
 Preach for sanity
 Strength and reason
 Do submit to the lies that we teach
 And enlightenment you will reach
 Open your heart to divine oppression and for us stand and fight
 ♪
 Empathy for the ones graded higher
 Apathy towards the ranked low
 Trading guilt for mirrors and desires
 Trading hope for favors and for wealth
 Selling fantasy and fables
 To the ones who need it most

 Kiss the thorn

 Devious ghost
 Stand on your own
 Be your meaning
 Be your healer
 ♪
 Stand on your own
 Say you'll leave it
 Say you'll leave it
 ♪
 Hold my hand one moment
 Teach me how to see beyond the lies
 Just a broken promise
 Just an echo of a distant cry
