Olkoth - Eidolon in the Flames

Sick and deranged
Force-fed by those who follow the cloth
Religious darkness controls them
Thrown to the ground
Violently mounted with a hand on your throat
Swallow the vile holy spirit
A fire to send this helpless soul into oblivion
Gleaming with hatred, born of ignorance

Burned on the hearth
Smoldering there until only ashes remain
Rise through the smoke and poignant stench of death

Suffering and weary
God fearing gaze upon her
A sentence to purge the unholy
There can be no salvation
Fever dreams invade the last acrid nights
Words of condemnation
The heretic reads aloud the final rites

Tithe unto hell
Infernal changeling that must be absolved
Amongst the hawthorns it found her
Vicious intent
Held to the embers in the name of a god
Devils whore, foul deceiver
The fire will send this wretched soul into oblivion
Gleaming with hatred, spawned from ignorance

Burned on the hearth
Smoldering there until only ashes remain
Rise through the smoke and poignant stench of death

They pray and read out scripture
As the embers burn her soft, tender flesh
No god was there with her
I still hear the burning voice calling my name to the fire.

A glow of suffering burned into my eyes
These stygian wails erode all sanity
Gripping the soul at its core,
a crippling fear assumes all control
Through judgment misgiven, a cursed eternity
-
Demonic imposter
Taker of souls
Only a spirit of hatred now remains
Unholy imposter
Corrupter of Souls
I still see the eidolon staring back through the flames
-
Unholy imposter
Corrupter of souls
I still hear the burning voice calling out my name
The eidolon in the flames
