In the howl of the empty wind The invisible flame As the mouth of injustice grins Fire runs through my veins The soul of the nation slowly withers As the spring lays crushed beneath the hammer My vision sears the crowded square This routed place I choose to expire As the steel in my nerve sets in I carry the cries In my end a new world begins It's not me who dies You're all on the brink of compromise Mass concessions in defeated eyes A terrible kindness to break the thrall I strike the match And let it fall Oppression, injustice, self-immolation I am the inferno I am legion Some run screaming Some sit silently An agonizing gift of charred humanity My footsteps They will echo through eternity A seismic scorching outcry of indignity I write my blackened name, carved into the wind I fill your hearts with rage I leave you ash and legend Fire runs through my veins Oppression, injustice, self-immolation I am the inferno I am legion
