Blood Red Sunset

Bathed in light they came together The brightest sun on the blackest of days Families, walked in the procession Children waved as they walked to their graves Under the blood red sunset The crowd watched as they burned The boy screamed as he burned The crowd laughed as he burned They burned With trusting hearts they entered the death house Wedding robes on the funeral pyre Lost in that ashen black darkness Blinded by sulphur and fire Blackened hands reached for the light The boy screamed as he burned The crowd laughed as he burned The boy fell as he burned He burned Surrounded but alone Alone Flesh burnt from the bone With trusting hearts they entered the death house Wedding robes on the funeral pyre Lost in that ashen black darkness Blinded by sulphur and fire Blackened hands reached for the light He was held as he burned To the others his thoughts turned In death Forever interned
