Ceremony In Flames

Sacrificial offering 
drapped in holy shrouds 
13 candles blazing 
conjuring fiendish terror 

Born into nothingness 
a parasite arrives 
capturing the pain of faith 
bound and gagged 

Through the maze of deceit 
the true face of god is 
revealed 
a beauty in knowing his touch 
offering a hand into freedom 

Caressed by solitude 
a plague of desire 
absorbing two thousand years 
unleashing human restrictions
