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
