Thurifer - Soen

Stricken by the lightning of desire

Chosen by temptation’s wicked ghost

Saviour of the young and of the fragile

Healer of the ignorant and poor

After every lighted pyre

Ashes fertilize the soil

Dig into your weakness for an answer

Dig until you find a reason why

Cursing younger souls with your stigma

Yet protected by the house of god

And with every broken promise

There’s a cold, well spoken word

Preach for solitude

Sin remission

Leave your will and your thoughts by the door

And surrender who you are

Preach for sanity

Strength and reason

Do submit to the lies that we teach

And enlightenment you will reach

Open your heart to divine oppression and for us stand and fight

Empathy for the ones graded higher

Apathy towards the ranked low

Trading guilt for mirrors and desires

Trading hope for favours and for wealth

Selling fantasy and fables

To the ones who need it most

Preach for solitude

Sin remission

Leave your will and your thoughts by the door

And surrender who you are

Preach for sanity

Strength and reason

Do submit to the lies that we teach

And enlightenment you will reach

Open your heart to divine oppression and for us stand and fight

Kiss the thorn

Devious ghost

Stand on your own, be your meaning, be your healer

Stand on your own, say you’ll leave it, say you’ll leave it

Hold my hand one moment, teach me how to see beyond the lies

Just a broken promise, just an echo of a distant cry
