Eidolon in the Flames

By Olkoth

On At the Eye of Chaos

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 purgе the unholy

There can bе 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
