Hollow Prophet Burning

Sin is beating down the door

Mired in corruption

Caked under layers of filth

Pledges of atonement

From the bastard cabal

Pathetic fantasy that dies

in a shallow grave

no promise, no salvation

institution built on lies

manipulating hope into disease

violation of trust

psychological erosion

feeble spirits left with nothing

choking on a hollow promise

beyond the grave the darkness waits

as crooked men manipulate

steeped in power born of myth

as the hopeful rot in waste
