Torch The Temple Of Your Mind

Go torch the temple of your mind

O poet with a burning blade

The refuge you call calm and kind

The walls will yield no peaceful shade

 

The king’s decree, half air half sea

Half land,the castle made on sand

I held the key, set all slaves free

And burn the castle where it stands

 

A crazed rebel in my mind is

Waging a war upon Venus

Claiming a brighter place is his

Where demons lurk, angels fear us

 

Yet this rebel shall face defeat

He lay upon his bed of nails

Chaos reborn and words repeat

And all the evil thoughts prevail
