Axenstar - The Burning lyrics

In the darkest of all ages, there was a wondrous child Growing up she found herself been blessed with a second sight Sk**ful in the art of healing, curing sick and blind But how could she know that one day luck just turned around? All the people's blind, it's all in their minds The rumors start, then spread around Whispers in the night, 'bout tales that wasn't right Destiny made a deal, her fate is sealed They thought they saw things cleary, but all's not black or white Fools who are self-proclaimed true bringers of the light Accused of these heretical crimes she left it all behind But it was just a matter of time before the escape was found They hunt her down and charge her for her crimes They will decide: "She can't survive" Put her to the test, before she's laid to rest Light up the stake, this cannot wait Tonight's the night when the flames embrace the sky The hope for man will now perish and die Illusive minds see before their very eyes The innocence of the one that's burned alive Blinded by their fear, they never saw it clear To quench their thirst for blood, she's the first to die Helpless and afraid, being called for by the dead No answer to her cries, just echoes in the night Brought before the judge and jury, like a lamb before the slaughter Eyes that pierce right through this so called sorceress Guilty until proven innocent, is the twisted truth they preach Ruler of the congregation lets the hatred speak: "So you claim you're innocent and free from sin Let's just see what truth there lies within We sentenced you to be judged by the highest power - a trial by fire" Tonight's the night when the flames embrace the sky The hope for man will now perish and die Illusive minds see before their very eyes The innocence of the one that's burned alive
