Lyrics

I remember it clear, like yesterday's tale
Long tiresome days in the field without fail
Through every night, a prayer so pure
A servant of God, my faith was my cure
Oh, church, I beg, bring me closer to Him
Let my spirit ascend, and not grow dim
Tied by the embers of hate
Tricked by the leaders of this state
Tried to escape, but it was too late
The flames around me burn bright
But as they consume, I lose my light
A victim of a war I didn't fight
The whispers grew loud, their hearts turned to stone
The church left me here to stand all alone
They claimed I worshipped the darkness with art
A blind accusation that tore me apart
Engulfed by the embers of hate
Tricked by the leaders of this state
Tried to escape, but it was too late
The flames around me burn bright
But as they consume, I lose my light
A victim of a war I didn't fight
As the flames drew close, I felt only frost
No sign of my God, no light to exhaust
As ashes consumed what it once was my frame
I knew I'd been abandoned in His holy name
Engulfed by the embers of hate
Tricked by the leaders of this state
Tried to escape, but it was too late
The flames around me burn bright
But as they consume, I lose my light
A victim of a war I didn't fight
Oh, they burned my body, but not my soul
Their pyre of lies won't make me whole
A martyr I stand, though unjustly betrayed
Their hands bear the guilt for the life they've frayed
Engulfed by the embers of hate
Tricked by the leaders of this state
Tried to run far away, but I was too late
The flames around me burn bright
But as they burn, I lose my light
A victim of a war I didn't fight
Engulfed by the embers of hate
Tricked by the leaders of this state
Tried to run far away, but I was too late
The flames around me burn bright
But as they burn, I lose my light
A victim of a war I didn't fight
