The Burning

In the darkest of all ages, there was a wondrous child

Growing up she found herself been blessed with a second sight

Skillful in the art of healing, curing sick and blind

But how could she know that one day luck just turned around?

All the people's blind, it's all in their minds

The rumors start, then spread around

Whispers in the night, 'bout tales that wasn't right

Destiny made a deal, her fate is sealed

They thought they saw things cleary, but all's not black or white

Fools who are self-proclaimed true bringers of the light

Accused of these heretical crimes she left it all behind

But it was just a matter of time before the escape was found

They hunt her down and charge her for her crimes

They will decide: "She can't survive"

Put her to the test, before she's laid to rest

Light up the stake, this cannot wait

Tonight's the night when the flames embrace the sky

The hope for man will now perish and die

Illusive minds see before their very eyes

The innocence of the one that's burned alive

Blinded by their fear, they never saw it clear

To quench their thirst for blood, she's the first to die

Helpless and afraid, being called for by the dead

No answer to her cries, just echoes in the night

Brought before the judge and jury, like a lamb before the slaughter

Eyes that pierce right through this so called sorceress

Guilty until proven innocent, is the twisted truth they preach

Ruler of the congregation lets the hatred speak:

"So you claim you're innocent and free from sin

Let's just see what truth there lies within

We sentenced you to be judged by the highest power

- a trial by fire"

Tonight's the night when the flames embrace the sky

The hope for man will now perish and die

Illusive minds see before their very eyes

The innocence of the one that's burned alive
