The Sacrifice at the Fire
A sacrificeShattered dreams
Broken wishes
The fire lit by the hatred
Embers spark with mistrust
The lamb on the stake
The steel hearts reflect the tortured face
The one push turned into itself
Pummeled by a thousand unrelenting fists
The eyes of thief
The heart of a saint
The crowds chant for blood
The king orders the burning
The mistakes of the traitor in his eyes
The dethronement
So the operator of clandestine operations
Destroyer of kingdoms
Receives the lashings of a thousand killers
So is justice, says the fool
The misunderstood man
His attempts of reconciliation astray
Condemned to always be the thief
The traitorous, liar, cheater
Condemned to limbo
Condemned to burn.
