Ashes Stain Forever



Ashes Stain Forever

Optimistic, but Kafka warning in the background
Jackboots stamping and the hysterical painter gaining ground
The Divinity asleep, promises never meant to keep
Destruction of the Defenseless, glass strewn all around

Cold and night collapse on frightened heads
Deaths head the king as dogs bite and emotion is dread
Move or stand, walk then run, nothing done is a command without hatred
Prayers in terror, screams to heaven but only wreckage is sacred

Time stops when living is torment
Torture is being awake to feel the terror torrent
Innocence is guilt and mercy is a whore when justice is for rent
Die Jew is the call; you will dig your grave to repent!

Alone is the reality, with nowhere to call home or to turn
The stones of Jerusalem, blackened waiting millennia for the return
No weapon to kill the Sons of Martin Luther
The sound of blood flowing and fire burning – the ashes stain forever
