St Seraphim Redux

Well, you’ve run out of time
And the house is on fire
You can’t say that it’s all right
As the flames lick your thighs
Babylon shaped my mind
I became what I despise
I resolved to purify
Cut my teeth back in the wild
There’s no god to show mercy on you
That’s what I was put here to do
You built your world out of thatch
Gave me the wood and the match
Sealed away from prying eyes
I dispensed with my disguise
Left the city, left Sarov
My icon is a bomb
There’s no god to show mercy on you
That’s what I was put here to do
You built your world out of thatch
Gave me the wood and the match
Ahura Mazda has risen again
We have only a phoenix to gain
Once this world is devoured in flames
Only then will you know my true name
