The Burnt Horizon

He raped the goddess Venus and drowned Poseidon  
And butchered Mars beneath the burnt horizon    
He ransacked Heaven and drank from The Holy Grail    
Then walked the righteous path of a scorched earth trail    
   
He sowed his seeds, but razed all the crops    
And poisoned wells with acid drops    
Of unholy souls he is the Devil's keeper    
And works in league with the grimmest reaper    
   
All the wretched dead will know his name    
Praise his deeds to assuage their pain    
Of the pauperized pious with their anxieties    
Let it be known that he has killed your deities    
Lost in the plagues of locusts there're no prayers to answer    
You might bend the knee, as he destroys like cancer    
One from Heaven, fallen, but the grave's his region    
Ne'er say his name, for his name is 'Legion'    
   
He fanned the flames of the forest fire    
And dragged out the hatred found in ire    
Whilst cursing all the oceans with the sea salt waters    
That were overlooked by his, illegitimate, siren daughters    
   
Now those waters rise as his inhumanities swell    
And what was Heaven is here, but with a path to Hell    
For he butchered Mars and drowned Poseidon    
Then walked a scorched earth trail beneath the burnt horizon
