Sparks of darkness appear on every horizon
glare of the sun withers into mild shade
coals of evil dancing from every fractal
swirling souls of a peaceful rite-
gather around me hear the laughter
lock the doors shut the windows tight
whispers of passion screaming louder
how can you bear to face the light
chants of bloodlust run much faster
daring to walk the earth at night
moonlight taunts you live you hunger
time slips away the world in fright
nothing you can do strike me hangman
staked to oak by human delight
blood in your eyes see much clearer
Deo Volente cannot fight
do not help me pray so softly
martyrdom self-sacrifice
speak your action paradox folly
hypocrites bear their lying eyes
peaceful warrior shed your own blood
bear the world and yet chastize
son of man and sky and earth
written words too oft belies
on the clearest day sky is falling
feels the pain but never dies
trust in me without salvation
i give none but worldly ties
simple answers tell so little
who speaks from the heart never lies
