Devourer Of The Gods

Lord of fire and rain

Being of ash and pain

Worshipped the first flame

Cities burned in its name

Sacrifices to the fire

A pile of human ash in the deathly mire

How can they see the light?

When someone's flesh is burning tonight

His philosophy is a contradictory haze

The end goal is just to feed the blaze

His followers call him the fire saint

Yet he bears a dark taint

He yearns for more

To the divine pantheon he be brought his war

Empowered by a billion burning souls

The gods over him had lost all control

Nothing they could do to him

He seemed to make fire turn to his very whim

All powerful was he

The personification of fire's majesty

The gods threw ice and thunder

But he just tore them all asunder

Scattering their limbs all over the land

Till the chief among them took a stand

The war god versus this mortal

Acting as the fire's portal

For years they clashed

Till the war god suffered a mighty gash

Down he fell to his knees

With a smile the fires escaped free

Burning him a blackened husk

The air reeked with a charred musk

He proceeded to burn the divine

Becoming more than just another mortal swine

Their souls fed to the fires of the first

He powers grew till it seemed he would burst

He was now the fire of the sun

The fire from a smoking gun

He stood tall

Radiant he shined over all
