Injudicial Lyrics - Exhumed Of The Earth - Paramaecium

Darkness in the garden 

The prayers of the Desired of Nations are spent 

As the blood drips from His flesh 

Treachery 

The traitor's kiss of love was active malignity 

As his hanging and disembowelment would testify 

He had betrayed innocent blood 

With torches and weapons 

They came to take Him away 

The High Priest's servant, Malchus, his ear severed 

From his head by the sword of Cephas 

Was healed instantly by the touch of Christ 

They took Christ to Caiaphas, He went resigned to die 

The death sentence wielding 

Such was denied Sanhedrin 

Pilate unyielding save to the political will 

Clenching a mandate in one hand 

Reluctance in the other 

The latter of small consequence 

With the former beholden 

His wife was plagued by nightmares 

Whilst he was haunted by 

The nightmare of insurrection 

The crowd outside was gathering 

"Crucify" was the refrain 

Of their liturgy of death 

Pilate claimed innocence of this man's blood 

Just before he sentenced Him to die in agony 

They abused the boundaries 

Of their temporal jurisdiction 

Unbeknownst to them establishing 

The eternal kingdom
