Fires In Spain

I kneel here in my cell
All bound up with rough chain
Silently hoping and praying
That I will get to see you again

So long has it been
Since I heard a kind voice,
And if I could it would
Be yours, that’s my choice

I know all too well where
They are taking me now
Can they not this one
Simple kindness allow?

But I know they will not
Show this mercy to me
No more then they would
Today set me free

But who would show mercy
To the devil incarnate
They hand me foul justice
Which true law would soon frustrate

And so I’m here a prisoner
Of these bastard son’s of God
They could be so much more holy
If they’d only spare the rod

But alas they pass judgment,
And my fate now sealed
By fire, they say my
True form shall be revealed

What Corruption! What Delusion!
What a self centered lot
Their greed and their cruelty
Shall not soon be forgot

And so let us go to the fires,
Come now let us leave.
It is only for my lost love
That with tears I now grieve.
