Storms rush confusion
Hot, cold, spite, and the red storm
The human storm moves
Blossoms are burning
Silk to smoke, sand to glass, fire
The crowd makes pyres
All have cast first stones
The scarlet ring surrounds her
Sinners and guilty
As her soul flees off
The ash of peach blossoms drift
He mixes her soul
The father grants form
Her white and pink spirit flies
His arms hold her tight
"Dear daughter be free
Welcome in good and faithful
Be one with the song"
"Great Lord eternal
Show the mercy of cold rains
Please disperse their flame
They know not their sin
I forgive their wrath, send rain
that oh Lord I pray"
"You cried out to me
You were upon their sinful hateful fire
they created the fire
It is of their image
They will reap of what they sow
Your scream was a scourge
Your scream flayed their souls
The whip did not strike their flesh
they hardened their hearts
Your pyre was in bloom
Your pain grants your reward
Gaze at your new form"
Her new hands are spring
A crown is perched atop her
She wears a halo
"Even now many repent
They flee to my home at speed
A place wear we meet"
Woeful flames give chase
They beg forgiveness "Lord please"
Fresh fire licked at them
Moment of weakness
Stood before the holy throne
They could comprehend
They were flickering
Some stayed others went their way
They did not have crowns
"Sons, daughters, welcome
You gave me food when hungry"
"Lord no please no lord"
"Why so sorrowful?"
The blossoming servant watched
"We cannot atone"
"You need not atone
For my son has made you right
You are sanctified"
