Byzantine

No mercy for the sinners
We've drawn our lines in blood
Behold the fool who differs
See them strewn through crimson mud

Endowed with painful visions
Sun, stars and planets heard
To whisper oh so clearly
In my ears their sacred words

Take flame and drive the Byzantine
Behind you, blackened earth
Your wrath will quake through history
Leaving men cursed

Hidden fangs of mystery shiver
And topple into dust
And ’neath them, twilight's risen
Will not slay self-righteous lust

Take flame and drive the Byzantine
Behind you, blackened earth
Your madness learned by history
Leaving it dust
