Committed to Flames

Punished for iniquity
Vanquishing liberty
Provoking insanity
Prisoner in the city of the dead
Eternal reverence
Mortal irrelevance
Revel in decadence
Kept in check by elemental dread

Your place shall no more be found
No sacred rites, no hallowed ground
Not for you a resting place
Commit this body to the flames
The ministrations of wraiths
Put to the test your hollow faith
Your place shall no more be found
The flames shall be your only shroud

Condemned to wear the guise of sin
A beast upon your throne
The Seraph lies as terror flies
To breach the heavens' dome
Your majesty in ruins
A bastard son of earth
Await a fate that wakes too late
To summon your rebirth

Promises are made of ice
Every roll of the dice
Returns your bad fortune thrice
Your life ransomed for the price of glory
Sins you could not condone
Have now become your own
Kept in place on your throne
Deafened by the drone of insanity

Your place shall no more be found
No sacred rites, no hallowed ground
Not for you a resting place
Commit this body to the flames
The ministrations of wraiths
Put to the test your hollow faith
Your place shall no more be found
The flames shall be your only shroud

Infect the waking world
With horror in recurring dreams
Incense and myrrh to calm the cur
And silence your own screams
Your majesty forgotten
Your mind and soul impaled
You seek retreat beneath and greet
The dark boatman you hail

Punished for iniquity
Vanquishing liberty
Provoking insanity
Prisoner in the city of the dead
Eternal reverence
Mortal irrelevance
Revel in decadence
Kept in check by elemental dread

Your place shall no more be found
No sacred rites, no hallowed ground
Not for you a resting place
Commit this body to the flames
The ministrations of wraiths
Put to the test your hollow faith
Your place shall no more be found
The flames shall be your only shroud
