Evil Watches As We Burn

Evil Watches As We Burn

High in the wounded sky the eye appears,

A terrible circle of living fire,

Red and orange flames twist through the clouds,

A burning watcher over the world.

The pupil glows like a furnace heart,

Orange fire turning in the red,

Flames coil slowly through the heavens,

A cruel sun watching the earth.

Cities breathe smoke into the night air,

Black towers fall into burning dust,

Forests sink into orange embers,

Rivers run dark with ash.

Still the eye burns in the sky above,

Red and orange flames around the gaze,

A crown of fire upon the clouds,

Watching the suffering below.

Do we feel the stare upon our shoulders,

Do we sense the heat in the air,

As the world trembles and cracks apart,

And the sky glows like an open furnace?

The eye does not close, it never sleeps,

It feeds upon the rising fire,

Upon the smoke of dying lands,

Upon the ruin of mankind.

Flames roar brighter in the sky,

Red and orange fury spreading wide,

The watcher smiles in silent shadow,

As everything below collapses.

The last lights fade upon the earth,

The wind carries the dust of cities,

Ash drifts across a silent world,

And the burning sky remains.

Above the ruins the fire eye glows,

Red and orange flames circling slow,

The earth lies broken under its gaze,

And the devil has won the war.
