Secular Flames


   
 
what you sca---r----r---e---d……,    
is not me---e---e---e…..,    
your fear is, of what you will become    
when you are with me  
   
I have seen what lies beneath your perfect skin  
shredding one after another to contain  
   
the flames of passion through your iris  
spreading contagiously like a virus  
   
my sweet princess don’t let it annihilate you    
undo these sacred chains so I can take you  
   
     let your flames burn my chains  
     let me ease all your pain  
     and by your side I will remain  
     together we will find a way in…  
   
     through the pillars of uncertainty
     to an undecaying eternity
     fly with the ravens over purity
     to slay the swans and their vanity
 
release the nightmares when the wolves starts howling
unfold the darkness when the mice starts crawling
   
drown the sun back to the depths of the ocean
stretch the night and kill the stars with notions
   
burn the houses with a cross on their roofs
slay the ones who would come to oppose
   
suck the blood out of every living thing
this is our land you’re the queen am the king
   
let your voice echo through the mist in the dark
spread your wings and show them who you are
   
send the slaves to bring you blood in a skull
let them paint red on all the cathedrals
   
dig the tombstones let the maggots resurface
let it rotten, let it reek, its the evil catharsis
   
my sweet princess all this can be ours
only if you release me from these sacred cuffs
   
my sweet princess, you are not scared of me
you scared of what you will become, with me

     the purity of your soul retain
     the lurking darkness within    
     how long would you contain  
     these secular flames    
   
     let your flames burn my chains  
     let me ease all your pain  
     and by your side I will remain  
     together we will find our way    
 
(together…...…...r !)  
(forever………….r !)
