Injudicial Lyrics

Injudicial lyrics

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
