Burning flesh and boiling blood
Shot down from the skies above
I am alive
Glowing bright on hands and knees
Searing castle stone beneath
Senses alight
The royal guard approaches scared
Rising tall I meet the stares
It is our lord
All who stand before me flee
Running through the streets they scream
He has returned
Be gone, vile preachers of hate
I’ve come to crush your tirades
Recoil, tremble all you
Who venom and toxic thought spew
What shame, you’ve brought on yourselves
Imprisoned minds form your own hells
This cult, this temple is doomed
This blasphemy taken as truth
Oh lord we are weak and poor have mercy on us
Ah
This is the end I slay misery once and for all
Brick by brick I’ll rebuild this world
And cast the old into the void
Truth wisdom passion life
Kingdom come and my throne reclaimed
