By fire be purged

By Reichsfuhrer-SS

Burn
Burn, all of you

The fire shall cleanse the world
Wipe away your filth
Wipe away all traces

Flame shall bring justice
Cauterize the wounds you have caused

Ash shall rain from the sky
Onto charred remains
All will be gone

Plants and animals
Women and men
Mothers and children

See the red glow
Hear the fire crackle
Smell the burning flesh
Taste death in the air
Feel the purity

It may hurt
Just remember
The fire loves you
Ten billion degrees of pure love

    I love the purification by fire theme and you express it beautifully here

  • A former member wrote: I found the penultimate stanza fascinating - the way that tasting death in the air is described as pure. Nice work. ~ Psychotic
