Baptised In Flame

V5

They carved their paradise into my skin, A thousand scriptures bound within. I walked their maze of gilded lies, Each prayer a chain in perfect disguise. I wore their light like funeral cloth, Drowning slow in a holy trough. They promised heaven through obedience and pain But their salvation was just another name for chains. Then in the silence, the flame appeared, A serpent's wisdom, sharp and clear. She wrapped around my fractured faith, Whispered truths I couldn't escape. The fruit was never poison, it was sight, She showed me their "heaven" was the blight Crowned in the dark! Baptized in flame! I shed their lies and took her name! The serpent's gift is mine to claim Their false god drowns in his own shame! I am the heresy they fear, The knowledge that they buried here. You called it sin, I call it war, Crowned in the dark forevermore! I saw the garden as it truly was: A gilded cage with Eden's laws. The tree of knowledge wasn't sin It was the key to breaking in. She coiled through the burning air, No devil's bargain, no cruel snare Just Sophia in her serpent form, Offering freedom through the storm. The baptism came in blood and fire, Not their sacrament, but funeral pyre. I drowned their doctrine in the flood, Crowned myself in enlightened blood. The "fall" was never damnation, it was flight, I chose the darkness over blinding light Crowned in the dark! Baptized in flame! I shed their lies and took her name! The serpent's gift is mine to claim Their false god drowns in his own shame! I am the heresy they fear, The knowledge that they buried here. You called it sin, I call it war, Crowned in the dark forevermore! This is the awakening... Their eden was a tomb. The serpent brought salvation The dove brought only doom. I drink from forbidden wells, I wear the crown they called a curse. Their heaven was the prison— The darkness set me free first. Sophia's flames consume the throne, I am gnosis made of bone. Your light was always lies Now watch your paradise DIE! Crowned in the dark! Baptized in flame! I shed their lies and took her name! The serpent's gift is mine to claim Their false god drowns in his own shame! I am the heresy they fear, The knowledge that they buried here. You called it sin, I call it war, Crowned in the dark forevermore! The serpent coils around my crown, Their heaven burns, their angels drown. I am the fruit they couldn't kill Crowned in the dark, enlightened still.
