Martyrdom and Fallacy
By Mathesix
A picturesque sunset, marred by streaks of gray
Shine down on the children
Dancing on his grave
Maybe they're unknowing, maybe they don't care
Maybe they are faithful, maybe they dispair
The phrophet speaks of revelation
Crying to the heavens in frustration
Tithe me, Son, your paycheck
It is mine to hold
Deliverence for Christmas
God is bathed in gold
Byzantium has been destroyed
Babylon is burning
Tha archangel stands to guard these gates
Flaming sword is yearning
A mask of untold perfection, scarred by tainted claws
Poison seeps, and it keeps, discovering the flaws
Celtic curse, a heathen verse, or flogged like Opus Dei
Boring blight, this painful plight, are you going to be saved?
Stand upon the front-lines, banners surely waving
Exhalting your own sainthood upon the multitudes you're saving
Maybe you are Chritian, maybe the Anti-Christ
Can an Atheist save you?, Who's to know the wise?
A shard belonging to the cross, picture on a shroud
Word engraved upon a rock, dare you voice these fears aloud?
Dead men speaking from the words on a page
Knowing that if Jesus comes you will not be saved

like reading into a lost forbidden tome, your words stir me to no end. wonderful questions brought to the light that many want to bury. and yet i'm reminded of a fog-lit graveyard..
