Banish and Burn Lyrics

Blood infects the eye
A veil of secrecy
But through her mind I ride
Mercy just implied

Her blood infects the eye
That that gazes into me
Whispers the truth of what to do

Thunder and rage
Great flames or a plague
She'll bring this crown down
Without a sound
Just deadly silence
Mark my words today

Whispers spread of her plight
With torches held alight:

Come tonight
Don't look away or close your eyes
Stare deep into the rite
Of cursed acolyte

Bring forth the fire to light the way
Send us a blaze that turns the night bright as day
Bring forth the liar to return
Banish and Burn

On this mountain peak
They did construct a pyre
So tall it shouldered up the stars
With wood, and stones, and oil
They did define her fate
And from this world she would depart

Blood infects the eyes
Of all who speak to me
Across the earth I ride
Just another lie

The blood of those defiled
It comes so easily
Witness the truth
Succumb to doom
And all the guilty point to you

Bring forth the fire to light the way
Send us a blaze that turns the night bright as day
Bring forth the liar to return
Banish and Burn

Feel the flame
Dance again
As the sparks bite
She's alight!
She's alight!

So, come tonight
Don't look away or close your eyes
Breathe deep the scent
Of violated innocence

Bring forth the fire to light the way
Send us a blaze that turns the night bright as day
Bring forth the liar to return
Banish and Burn
