Merciless to the siege - Agents massacred
Protected fortress - Underground militia
Religious sect - Proclaimed messiah

David Koresh

Devoted followers - One man's domain

Fortified compound - Stockpile of weapons
Forced reproduction - Tunnels underneath
Protecting children - From the enemy


Battalion of tanks - Failed negotiations
Stronghold secured


Rounds of ammunition fired
Canisters of C-S gas - Dispersed inhumanely

Interpretations of the seven seas
Book of revelations


Reconstructed skull - Bullet wounds found
In craniums of slain disciples


Masks of bureaucracy - Identities released
Survivors interrogated - Reaccounting the horror
Useless ordeal - Ends in death

Merchants of greed - Fire consumes

Cloaked in sympathetic dismay

Beyond the grasp of the mind
In death the answer lies


Divine inspiration
Ascension towards supremacy
Dreadful endowment


Scriptures recited
Vengeance from martyred souls

Hero of the tribulation

Prepared to sacrifice

Allured by the disguise
Isolated from the world


Bodies lay scattered - Apocalyptic hell
Terrifying scene - Chilling act of suicide
Devoured by raging flames

Leaving a horrified world
