A Sinner's Death
Heed thy sacred song;
In prayer, the sin begone.
On my knees while his blood I shed.
Though light surrounds, the darkness spreads.
Why God must he die?
A sinner’s death, yet still I cry.
His breath, the angels wring.
Unholy life to you they bring.
Shall he see salvation’s light?
Or be blinded by demonic might.
The sounds of a scream cut short by blade,
From a wielder who prays that this soul be saved.
The fading eyes still shock my brain.
His life is gone, but I still remain.
