The Descension

[Verse One]
The night grew black around me
I was desperately alone
My soul became a wasteland
My heart carved bare as bone
Cathedral walls were crumbling
The ashes filled the air
I cried out to the Father
But the Father wasn’t there

[Chorus]
On the night of the descension
I met the wounded Christ
He said all must touch the darkness
Before they touch the light
On thе night of the descension
His facе still stained with blood
He said all must know the grieving
Before they know the love

[Verse Two]
Stripped of all defenses
No cunning, no deceit
No wisdom for a weapon
No prayers to keep the peace
The demons mocked my knowledge
My ambitions, hopes and dreams
Magdalene caressed my hair
And said nothing’s as it seems
