FIRE

The scarlet sun is bedding down
Illusions of the mountains aflame
While ebony steals into my soul
The unrelenting winds scream your name
Your ruthless image comes to mind
Merging with the fury you evoke
Forging a wrath 
You will never tame
Hell's fire erupting through the smoke

~~~*Chorus*~~~
The fire’s lain dormant
Like a virgin field
That you ravaged
Impeding yield
The fruit of harvest
Refused to thrive
Stifled by smoke
Consumed by fire
My passion's vengeance
Fueled by desire
To watch you perish
Within the fire
~~*~~

You were brutal
In your deceit
A mock-dandy unexposed to all
But I was acquainted with the ruse
My crusade…
To make the sinful fall

Destination Purgatory
I relish the justice that’s transpired
Banished from the forthright and moral
Cast into an everlasting fire

~~~*Chorus*~~~
The fire’s lain dormant
Like a virgin field
That you ravaged
Impeding yield
The fruit of harvest
Refused to thrive
Stifled by smoke
Consumed by fire
My passion's vengeance
Fueled by desire
To watch you perish
Within the fire
~~*~~
