A heretic on trial for the crime of truth

I stand accused before thee

Orthodox inquisitors demand punishment for this blasphemy

Zealots cry out for blood

Forked tongues decree the holy word

Sentenced to the pyre

Injustice must be served

Suppression of knowledge

Questioning the origins of the cosmos and pondering our place within

Intimidation tactics, recant or face imprisonment

Unrepentant and defiant against this ignorant theocracy

A theorist in search of answers engulfed by the flames of hypocrisy

Zealots cry out for blood

Forked tongues decree the holy word

Sentenced to the pyre

Injustice must be served

Suppression of knowledge

Abolishment of wisdom
