Devotion


Metal blaring
in my ears
chase the darkness
crush my fears

Sound and fury
grab my soul
power and chaos
out of control

Anger, frustration
hate and rage
free my demons
from their cage

Penitents moshing
in the pit
bodies thrashing
flesh is ripped

This is our church
our holy temple
for we who worship
metal
is
essential
