1.5 KiB
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
