They lead her out in irons
Like butchers lead a sheep
The screaming of the sirens
Awakes the town from sleep
On one arm walks an elder
On the opposite a priest
Behind, an executioner
His eyes raised to the east
Is this not what He wanted?
On Earth as in the sky
Just as Our Father promised
We'll see His enemy die
Around the grim procession
The people come in crowds
To see the wrathful session
Beneath the darkening clouds
Awaiting her arrival
At a place arrayed with skulls
For the sake of their survival
The congregation culls
Is this not what we wanted?
On Earth as in the sky
Just as Our Father promised
We'll see our enemy die
They hold her in position
Her face against a wall
Expecting some contrition
Expecting her to stall
But though her eyes show terror
They also show resolve
No apology for error
No need to be absolved
Is this not all they wanted?
On Earth as in the sky
Just as my father promised
They'll see his enemy die
His weapon at the ready
The headsman heaves a sigh
A lengthy hesitation
That makes her wonder why
She glances past her shoulder
At the killer in his place
And suddenly goes cold
As she sees her father's face
Is this not what you wanted?
On Earth as in the sky
Just as your Father promised
You'll see the enemy die
[Her] Coward!
[Executioner] *******
[Elders] Demon ****
[Crowd] **** **** ****

The old man holds a grimace
And tightly shuts his eyes
His soul he sees as sinless
As fast his weapon flies
