the new desire

This condemnation revages all the sanity in me
This flagellation you all brought upon me
You come with fire, with stakes and your torches burning
A new desire, a flaming prophecy
This convocation, a vile and dark conspiracy
An oppression of all which is free
A new desire, a destined path for you and for me
And all others who once were free
A waning desire, all hope led astray
Now darkness consumes the day
A sign and a token, wisdom unspoken
Gives fuel to the flames
