when a human is tied to a cross to be incinerated, best to look away or risk your own immolation end.

Scorched earth Chars all who walk it Of the burned Blistered and broken Hope is relishing in the heat Knowing someone else is safe As long as they're the only one on fire Some recoil to the warmth Can only cast the pain onto others I am straw and twigs If my immolation will bring you peace Then I have one last request Can I get a light?

Can I get a light?
My skin is cracked pulling split apart Mucous forms, blood bubbles fat popping skin melts Hair afire! skull snapping arm bones charred Collapsed in two scream fire body sinking To Ashen State, To Ashen State, Immolation To Ashen State, To Ashen State, A Man cannot be the  Sun. *

Agni
Tonight, I drowned myself to sleep with oil and the prayers that I keep suspended in regret, my faith I steeped with hopes of grain and blood, I reaped the vast shadow of the past, I creep beneath the scrying eyes, I weep for broken arms raised to the sky, I leaped without clinging to the land I loved, I sweep the poison of my men, I seep. My heart lies in the dreams I heaped Tonight, I drowned myself to sleep.
