Lamb Off The Altar


The birthmark of Satan

a spherical star

Old curse in the distance

new devils at war  

 

His prophecy stolen

the markings of Cain

Madonna the virgin

rebirth unattained 

 

Melody of darkness 

blasphemies hymn

The garden left burning

original sin

 

Tomorrow in mourning

this moment on fire 

The lamb off the altar

—redemption expired
