The Cleansing Scourge

In a flash of fire
It is burned away
The future's hope
And the memory's pain
The purest love
And its noble ways
The scarred innocence
Of a heart-broken face
The end of fear
Regrets and hate
The one you dream of
All night and day
The unbridled laugh
Of your child at play
In a flash of fire
They are burned away

In a flash of fire
It is burned away
The heavens above
And the Wolf's weary chains
The shackles that bind
To life's unforgiving flames
The lies in your head
That keep the truth at bay
The sun that penetrates
The twilight's grey
The fickle gods
And their tears of rain
The touch of her flesh
That burns in your veins
In a flash of fire
They are burned away

The cleansing scourge will burn it all away
