Of Pillars and Trees Lyrics

Fastened by way of iron nails to a pillar
feet dangling in the open air below
nearby victim has a stake removed re-driven through her
new blood from an old wound makes a show

Suspended
by...one foot
leg...bent...at
the knee

Constricted by means of a ring
offering no hope or clemency
trees forced over & held under pressure
legs are attached ligaments to rupture soon

Timbers set free as agony washes over the face

The body
will seize
and shudder

Muscles begin to tear noticeable to those witnessing

Left to hang for several days or weeks
soft cries rushed along a hot breeze
shrieks ring out as some taste flames
swinging fetid beneath the leaves

Punished executed
primitive ways
experience the wonder
of pillars and trees

they remain
for all to see
