The Land of the Pure
I heard a call from heaven, I saw a fever dream
Of a land my kin would live in and joy would reign supreme.
But the land of the pure has blood in her waters
Of the children she bore, both the sons and the daughters.
There is poison in her air, her streets awash with shame.
How long shall her people suffer these perils in her name ?
Where justice is all but rare for the ones of wealth and fame
and her defenders sold her bare for fortunes and petty gain.
Her clerics were no different, they were but the same.
Men of God with Godless morals, who put us infidels to shame.
So we wait for spring's embrace, in this garden of yours and mine.
But winter is a mighty foe and it hangs on to every vine.
