They are traitors, beasts clothed in a grin,
yet within lie corpses, drunk on blood and sin.
At the banquet of lies, their hunger remains,
bread of greed they devour, wine of deceit fills their veins.
A cross on their chest, but hollow and dead,
a symbol of holiness defiled instead.
Their tongues are blades of fire, yet the edge is fake,
draped in prayerful whispers, but every word’s a venomous snake.
Shadows in garments of radiant light,
masquerading prophets in the temple of night.
The power of God they trample, deny,
like ashes in the wind, scattered and left to die.
O people, do not bow to their vow,
their temples are caves where the serpent hides now.
They are rivers of death, flowing silent and grim,
drowning the thirsty in the abyss where no star can swim.
But the fire will come, unquenchable, wild,
tearing down masks, burning idols defiled.
Their holiness is ash, their glory is smoke,
their names will be written in the book of the cursed, in flames they’ll choke.
So heed the thunder this is the sign,
the veil of holiness torn by the divine.
And in the end, no refuge but night,
as false angels plummet to the pit, devoured by eternal fire and blight.
