The Blaze

Oh, lucent pariah
Dweller in the muted depths
Of calcified hearts
Grant me wisdom, archaic
And a resolve unrepentant, blasphemous
To soar beyond the pale
A phoenix apostate
For I cannot return
I will never return

I've seen the blaze
On blood-red nights
And I've wept at its wane
Dimming like a dream each dawn
