The darkest day
A man convicted of committing no crime
The faithful are hidden
The faithless triumphant
One true hope struck down before their eyes
Betrayed, beaten, bloodied, berated
Suffering no man should have to endure
Fueled by envy and ignorance
Ultimate regicide
The blackest night falls
Yet in the darkness lies the dawn
The spit on his face cleanses impurity
The stripes on his back mark us with glory
Each insult they hurl brings us good word
Each strike they deliver lessens our pain
Thorns pierce his head, and we are anointed
Nails driven in break through our chains
As his drops of blood fall, our souls quench their thirst
As he is lifted to death, we arise to life
The fall of man
The pain of God
Everything rises again
