Thurifer
Stricken by the lightning of desire
Chosen by temptation's wicked ghost
Saviour of the young and of the fragile
Healer of the ignorant and poor
After every lighted pyre
Ashes fertilize the soil
Dig into your weakness for an answer
Dig until you find a reason why
Cursing younger souls with your stigma
Yet protected by the house of God
And with every broken promise
There's a cold, well spoken word
Preach for solitude
Sin remission
Leave your will and your thoughts by the door
And surrender who you are
Preach for sanity
Strength and reason
Do submit to the lies that we teach
And enlightenment you will reach
Open your heart to divine oppression and for us stand and fight
Empathy for the ones graded higher
Apathy towards the ranked low
Trading guilt for mirrors and desires
Trading hope for favours and for wealth
Selling fantasy and fables
To the ones who need it most
Preach for solitude
Sin remission
Leave your will and your thoughts by the door
And surrender who you are
Preach for sanity
Strength and reason
Do submit to the lies that we teach
And enlightenment you will reach
Open your heart to divine oppression and for us stand and fight
Kiss the thorn
Devious ghost
Stand on your own, be your meaning, be your healer
Stand on your own, say you'll leave it, say you'll leave it
Hold my hand one moment, teach me how to see beyond the lies
Just a broken promise, just an echo of a distant cry
