Heretic’s Hymn

---

---

[Intro]

Verse 1
We seek truth
Over tradition—
For this cause
Tribulation.

We seek love’s
Only temptations
And for that
Immolation

[Interlude]

Verse 2
Splayed prostrate—
Salvation’s whore—
We embrace
The lost, the poor

Because this
Defies their power
We’re defamed—
Our souls deflowered.

[Intrumental/Interlude]

Verse 3
We’re your sons
And your daughters.
We’re parents
Grandparents too.

We seek love
We cry for mercy;
Your stake bound—
Ash effigies.

[Outro]

Poet’s Note:
A Freaky Friday Frolic. From my album-in-progress Dark Alchemy, Heretic’s Hymn unfolds as a slow dirge of defiance and devotion. It’s a hymn for those who love beyond boundaries and question what they were told to worship—a meditation on faith, exile, and the cost of compassion.
