Burning faith #Notre Dame

That structure against weather stood    
A mass in latin holy brotherhood
Against the bombs and wars great terror blight  
 Crown of thorns its destiny. that crowning sight  
A flaming headdress shook its core  
 Scaffold of fire was on the organs score  
Quiet resolve and tears, that from the ash a cross reborn  
Pray with me, the chancel choir in praise will sing  
Burning faith the scorch marks we are suffering
For that time in, reflection grieve
For the gleam of life and not its eve
It's rose windows melt to be replaced
Beat your chest and try to fight
Last ashes glimmer as your last days bow out
 the sent of sacrament, its waft alights
