Phosphorous from Efference by Asira

Darkness has fallen, a liberating veil
Restless, we steel our minds
Anguish and agony, death by the flame
This fate, we leave behind
One shall remain, ensuring our passage
His sacrifice taken on trust
Gladly he’ll walk with the phoenix through death
Together, their bodies to dust

Forlorn, resigned to the flame, approach the pyre
As condemning their bones, a trial by fire
Abhor, abate, cremate

Stood on the brink, my thoughts cold and still
Watching my brothers take flight
Quenching their hate with nuclear fire
Devouring their light
Bathing together in fission of flame
I confirm all their fears
Willingly burning as cold entombs me
Our victory seeps in my veins
Mind resolved, I sound the bell for their judgement
Their end of days

Sharing the fate of the zealots, I burn
An illusion of ruin allows no return
Cloaked in this fierce conflagration
Like phosphorous burning my skin
As the veil lifts, welcome the dawn
Be free of your sin

Absolution divine
This flesh, a blazing shrine

Darkness has fled, the veil undone
Announced by the cold light of dawn
The wind arises and hollow men stir
Witness a phoenix reborn
Eye for an eye, their judgement arrived
By way of their bodies, now scarred
Sentenced to wander the earth under shadow
Forsworn in the eyes of their god
