The Dreaming of the Flame

The lifeless eyes

Of the cross stare down at me

One last time

The verdict is told

And the faith of the lost

Has been broken

These walls, they speak

And as I am ushered out

I hear these before me weep

The bells, they scream

The fall from grace is oh so deep

Silent monks

Lead me to my golgatha

Before me

The ones of the reversed flame

I see green grass and black ash

False suns of torches

And as I sit in the inferno

I see...

...I see the king and queen

And majesties

And while the flame hisses my body

I toss and turn

And awake unto the frightful dream

The lifeless eyes

Of the messiah gaze at me

Just one more time

And my body whole

I feel my soul has turned to coal

These walls, they speak

These bells, they scream
