Thomas Faces His Crimes Against Humanity Lyrics by Ethereal Snake

2021

Nuremberg Trials - Nov. 1945
[Thomas]
I could tell you each and every part of the journey from memory. I could tell you where the tracks wind and bend. Where the wind blows due to a break in the trees. The first corner you turn when you see it; miles away and covered in fog, but unmistakable, the tower. I felt like I didn't have any agency, just being forced back and forth along the hellish track to damnation.
The worst part wasn't the screams, but the silence. Because in that silence, I only had myself for company. Me and my thoughts left to bask in an eternity while we contemplated my place in hell. Each and every day I told myself I'd do something; that I'd quit, leave, never look back. I never did. I kept getting paid and I kept going home. And that's what the worst part is, living with yourself. It's not the knowledge that you're having a hand in the murder of so many people, it's the fact that you can still sleep at night.
I close my eyes and all I can see is that tower of ash, floating skyward against a red sky, then the raining down of a thousand souls, dancing in the wind. I'll never forget the way it burns your throat as you try to breathe, a taste of hellish sulfur that's about to come. The way it forces tears in your eyes. There comes a point where the faces of the people you've wronged become too many to recognize in a dream; they merge and they change and they become all consuming. No longer recognizable individuals, but an entire consciousness in your thoughts.
I was once on the path when it began to snow, and from behind me I heard the laughter of a child as she reached her hand out and let a snowflake fall onto her hand, melting into nothing within a few seconds. Amidst all the screams, the curses, the cries . . . the sound of that laughter was the most haunting thing I had ever known.
I won't beg for forgiveness. I don't want it. I don't deserve it. Whatever is coming for me after I die, I embrace as inevitable and just.
[Postface]
Revelation 20:10 And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
