Ceremony in Flames


Sacrificial offering
Draped in holy shrouds
Thirteen candles blazing
Conjuring fiendish terror

Born into nothingness
A parasite arrives
Capturing the pain of faith
Bound and gagged

Through the maze of deceit
The true face of God is revealed
A beauty in knowing his touch
Offering a hand into freedom

Caressed by solitude
A plague of desire
Absorbing two thousand years
Unleashing human restrictions
