Clench fast to your neck
Reveal the berserker you always were
Fallen down upon the altar
A goblet spills forth in red rain
Ritual from ages past
Held in esteem
Riches garnered from the faithful
A plague of goodness
To sate your evil
You praise the god of might
When all is well
But you may create a pact with Hell
If you’re begging for your life
Sliced up with the deliberation
Of a thousand summers
Hot and dry the blade slides in
Finding purchase with your soul
Violet liquid flows
From the squirming offering
Cast down into the din
Silenced in pits of gnashing
Only when the sky is obscured
With truth by your chimneys of righteousness
Only when crimson sigils of name and purpose
Are seared into black mistakes
Only when the spider in the garden
Has sucked your decadence dry
Only when the chapel rocks
Become cursed by your inquisition flames
