GeVa - Consuming Fire, Pt. 1

He took the iron key from around his neck and pressed it into my hands
(He gripped me by the arm) "destroy the book, do you understand?"
The statue of the Virgin Mary had been decapitated
Dismembered along the church wall, figures mutilated

My life is now in shadow
Everywhere I go I sense that strangers are lurking, following me
I hear noises at night
Birds come crashing into my window
My life is now in shadow

As I read on, my eyes grow wider and wider - my heart beats faster
What has been seen cannot be unseen

My dreams are plagued by unspeakable terrors
So much that I dread going to sleep
I have taken to opium to dull my terrors
To whorehouses to avoid the loneliness of my bed

My life is now in shadow
I fear less for my mind and body than for my soul
Which is wrought upon by the demons
whose words I dared to read
My life is now in shadow

My life is now in shadow
Everywhere I go I sense that strangers are lurking, following me
Animal carcasses, burned to death
Have been left on my doorstep
My life is now in shadow

I bid you farewell and remain eternally your most humble and obedient servant
