Pathetic false angels serve Empyrean lies

Stars fall like rain from the crumbling spheres

Abandoned creation, hollowed paradise

Buckles under weight of its hypocrisy

Jovian kings shout vindictive decrees

Commanding their hatred of the other

Those that would torture souls eternally

Most deserve to bear this punishment

Built on foundations of rot

Truth found deep under Earth

A pyre for a dying god

Enkindled by our dignity

Fires ignite

Bring its light to life

Let the surface burn away

Ashes reveal human blessings

Now go

Exit the garden and descend Virgil’s mountain

Indulge in pleasures of a life unrepentant

Follow the path of no empty confessions

Lift the chins of lost souls from stupor

Not satisfied by purgatory’s wrath

Delve deeper than the shallow slopes of sin

Beyond the shores outside of Peter’s gateway

Lies the well-spring of an honest existence

Built on foundations of rot

Truth found deep under Earth

A pyre for a dying god

Enkindled by our dignity

Fires ignite

Bring its light to life

Let the surface burn away

Ashes reveal human blessings

Rebel’s flight

Of a finite time

Lower one hand to the lake

Bathe in our blessing

We’re born

No crime to be born

No entitled need

To poetic justice undone to be free

A guilty mind freed

Some songs won’t be sung

But I’m dancing on cinders with infernal right to be

Fires ignite

Bring its light to life

Let the surface burn away

Ashes reveal human blessings

Rebel’s flight

Of a finite time

Lower one hand to the lake

Bathe in our blessing
