Prevailed
The ritual was set to produce ashes from the bones
Cleansing by the fire for a sin they need to atone-
I didn't understand what was happening
As the body rose and bled
Where once was a living person
Was burned by fire instead
I didn't ever wish to be them
I hoped that no one else ever would-
I wouldn't wish this upon anybody
and I Don't ever want to sacrifice flesh and blood
I heard the fatal cry
As she left the holy veil
From this world into another
Cleansed in fire
We then prevailed
