Burning the Altar - YOB

Burning eyes brim with tears

Heavy heart clenched like a fist

Grasping hope with hands in flames

Burning ashes

Burning to the core

Wretched fools suffer fate

In worlds that they made

Sand slipping through fingers

Wisdom in decay

Burning the altar

Ashes billow across the sky

Burning the altar

Burning the altar

The ignorant rule the weak

With iron law and wrathful deeds

Eyes within eyes

All seeing

All mass delusion

Trumpets to the fall

Hollow psalms

The drums of war

Beating the stretched skin of the fallen

Redirect the vision within now

While the world ends
