Heretic's Hymn

Tristan Robert Lange



Verse 1
We seek truth
Over tradition—
For this cause
Tribulation.
 
We seek love’s
Only temptations
And for that
Immolation
 
[Interlude]
 
Verse 2
Splayed prostrate—
Salvation’s whore—
We embrace
The lost, the poor
 
Because this
Defies their power
We’re defamed—
Our souls deflowered.
 
[Intrumental/Interlude]
 
Verse 3
We’re your sons
And your daughters.
We’re parents
Grandparents too.
 
We seek love
We cry for mercy;
Your stake bound—
Ash effigies.
 
[Outro]

  • Comment from author about the poem: A Freaky Friday Frolic. From my album-in-progress Dark Alchemy, Heretic’s Hymn unfolds as a slow dirge of defiance and devotion. It’s a hymn for those who love beyond boundaries and question what they were told to worship—a meditation on faith, exile, and the cost of compassion.
