Sages And Sadducees

from Blood And Fire by Scarlet Oath

lyrics

Thus fulfills the sky-bound wish
of which the prophets told
Bereft of the fallen creature
confounding saints of old
Bled forth in its shadowed state
and scapegoats cloaked in veil
For whom the seekers toil unleashed
where no flesh shall prevail
Carcasses where vultures gather
The season and its signs
Serpents dwell in fruitless vineyards
Venom consumed as wine
Like devils perched on angels wings
breaching Heaven's gates
The soulish feed on forked-tongue lies
and reap a devil's fate

Ancient wisdom - Euphemisms
Mystic shadows - Crypticism

Fools perish for their folly
to vomit dogs return
Deceivers stroke the cheeks of harlots
for whom their senses yearn
Discernment cast like pearls to swine
and bears the weight of scorn
While swine are slaughtered on the altar
in vain is sackcloth torn

Scorning wisdom for syncretism
Compelling the wise to forge division

Woe to those who call evil good
Woe to those who call good evil
