Torn For Eternity

Take your place within the fire
Let the flames consume and churn
They feed upon your mortal desire
Reducing souls to ash for an urn

The image of life begins to fade
Flickering shadows of the past
Skin peels as fire’s blade is laid
A tormenting burn to forever last

Opulence born of human pride
Meets its end at the threshold’s flare
Under burning wrath, no sins can hide
Cleansing flames lay the spirit bare

Lost to heat in a foreign sphere
Where the damned and broken are wed
The air reeks thick of sulphurous fear
Amid charred skeletons of fate’s thread
