Book Burning Lyrics - Sodom

Slashing the wantoness, grudging deeds 

With hearts that have no right to beat 

Whispering echoes forcasting my fate 

From heaven to hell I spirit away 

The shadow of wathers haunting my soul 

Replacing my life for a handful of gold 

The slings and the fetters of outrageous foes 

Peremptory baseness where glory once shone 

Losing the ground at the end of the light 

Beheading myself no more power to fight 

Horror beyond the unnatural fear 

Reflection of lies so threatening near 

Apathetic servants of the mighty evil 

Rushing demise, blind decision 

Exhaustion of my will 

Habitual turning 

Lifeless objects, peaceful symbols 

Book burning 

The scriptures of freedom devoured by fire 

Flushes of anger immortal desire 

Appeal to the gods is ceasing unheard 

Lamentations sounded imploring absurd 

My rage unleashed and my glare is reborn 

Sunshine removed by a cold winterstorm 

Deliver me god from this treacherous crowd 

These crystal nights bring the life to nought 

Losing the ground at the end of the light 

Beheading myself no more power to fight 

Horror beyond the unnatural fear 

Reflection of lies so threatening near 

Apathetic servants of the mighty evil 

Rushing demise, blind decision 

Exhaustion of my will 

Habitual turning 

Lifeless objects, peaceful symbols 

Book burning
