Sanguine Saints - Arsafes

a weakened mind

stops the soul

from reconnecting

with the light

it stays awake

in the arms

of bleeding statues

out of sight

of all the eyes

of all the faces

all the hands

that seek revenge

sanguine saints

are cursed to burn

in pits beneath the earth

sanguine saints

are made to learn

the ways of pain from birth

my eyes are open

my bones are crushed

by a thousand hammers

of those who knew

that all i wanted

was to set them free

from the will of blood,

from the crooked truth

sanguine saints

are cursed to burn

in pits beneath the earth

sanguine saints

are made to learn

the ways of pain from birth

in nomine spiritus sancti

behead the slaves, all for one

in nomine spiritus sancti

the sages burn forever

as the lords assemble to deny

your truly spoken words

flames begin to rise up to the sky

blindly igniting the heaven’s doors
