churning fire, arching flame fulcrum of Earth's flight foundry of man and stone destroyer of the night celestial furnace runs out of fuel self-consuming, it dies into the cold, black sky light and heat no longer pour eight minutes of light eight minutes of life darkness evermore the morning sun bathes land and sea sleepers start to rise a final dawn, a final day then eternal night celestial furnace runs out of fuel self-consuming, we die into the cold, black sky light and heat no longer pour eight minutes of light eight minutes of life darkness evermore

hero of foreign war defender of our ways and lands the pacifist king is no more in his place a war king stands protector patriot he rules by divine right resist him not hail king, lord of us all save for his hand we will fall slave king, master of all by fear he holds us in thrall wielder of martial law destroyer of our peace and wealth he honors his fathers no more his arrogance will be his death dictator foul despot oppressor and tyrant obey him not hate king, bane of us all by our hands he will fall

Psychosis 05:50
dark have been my dreams of late they cloud my waking eyes with visions of death and of decay of sabotage and spies I can't distinguish friend from foe can't tell the truth from lies I grind against the world that is but chase the fading light my sight grows dark my mind is breaking fell voices are calling me home please don't let me go strangers stare and whisper pointing fingers I despise I flee their hate and hide myself retreating from their sight my friends have left me to the wolves cast me into the night embrace the comfort shadows bring and shun the blinding light my sight has failed my mind is broken my fathers are calling me home please just let me go

I was to see that sight again but once would have been enough flames came from a human being human beings burn surprisingly quickly his body was slowly withering and shriveling his head blackening and charring in the air was the smell of burning flesh as he burned he never moved at all he burns he burns himself to death he becomes a martyr he burns himself for our requests he burns he burns himself to death he becomes a martyr he burns himself without regret behind me I could hear the sobbing of those who were now gathering I was too shocked to cry too confused to ask questions he never uttered a sound, his composure stood in sharp contrast to the wailing people around him as he burned he never moved at all he burns he burns himself to death he becomes a martyr he burns himself for our requests he burns he burns himself to death he becomes a martyr he burns himself without regret he burns
