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
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

He was now the fire of the sun
The fire from a smoking gun
