30 Pieces
Raging flashes
time on fire
seconds flaming
moments pyre
Burning scepters
light betrays
torches fury
embers pray
Blind inception
blistered tongues
motion melting
boiled young
Bars of silver
chains of gold
locks of platinum
ingots stole
30 pieces
forged in lies
minted falsehoods
struck alive
Nights of crimson
skies of red
life has moltened
—ashes dead
