+# Divine Light Fading
+(To the tune of https://annaandelizabeth.bandcamp.com/track/black-eyed-susan)
+
+As Judas' Poison Kiss didst press,
+The savior's cheek at midnight's turn
+Fair Hecate the omen blessed,
+By frenzied spite and flaming urn
+Thirty silver pieces line his hands
+That dear betrayer
+That dear betrayer kissed Him where He stand
+
+The horn-shaped moon betokened death:
+Harbringer in the hellish sky;
+And sparing not a moment's breath,
+The host didst seize the Adonai.
+How is it that this cosmic crime could be?
+The carpenter taken
+The carpenter taken to-wards Calvary
+
+A fell sensation cursed the air;
+The Maenads manic laughter sang;
+In ecstasy the hadean mares,
+Didst shriek and stomp 'till tart'rus rang
+The dionysian spirits beam with glee
+And darkness creepeth
+And darkness creepeth towards eternity
+
+In tumult Cepha drew his blade:
+The cloven ear asunder fell,
+Which by the savior's hand was made,
+To reaffix in painless spell.
+Why doth He not put up the slightest fight?
+Divine light fading,
+Divine light fading into this dreadful night
+
+Before the people he was led
+The truth professed, to no avail
+Judah screamed, Rome acquiesced
+Mammon cherished his travail
+The God-man spread out on the dogwood tree
+For pharisees
+For pharisees and pagans all to see
+
+Gethsemane began to weep
+Despoilers raved in delight
+The bitter cup He chose to keep
+Our Lord they chose to crucify
+The final gaspings of the God made Son
+Brought joy to Hades
+Brought joy to Hades as the crime was done
