What I thought was blood on my mind Was the memory of hidden girl’s life Humanity burning inside distant diaries Until their horror became our strife What I thought was water to cleanse Was from a spear ****** into his side While he cried again for our peril From madness we could not hide What I thought was a horn blast of angels Was the sound of a thousand rising suns While the last witness was asked to forget The death of a thousand mother’s sons What I thought was a prayer for peace Was the sound of hell being born again And when the fire liberates itself from grace We are reminded that flesh is made from sin

Infamy
What I thought was blood on my mind Was the memory of hidden girl’s life Humanity burning inside distant diaries Until their horror became our strife What I thought was water to cleanse Was from a spear ****** into his side While he cried again for our peril From madness we could not hide What I thought was a horn blast of angels Was the sound of a thousand rising suns While the last witness was asked to forget The death of a thousand mother’s sons What I thought was a prayer for peace Was the sound of hell being born again And when the fire liberates itself from grace We are reminded that flesh is made from sin
