Redemption

The desecration of purity, Omen of the desolation of paradise, Established by iniquity, Sanction for death to arise, Dethronement of the first, Coronation of the pseudo morning star, Genesis of the thirst, Enslaved to a depraved master. In tumult and toil, Unending strife in strive, To gain the yield of the soil, Death alone brings reprieve, Upon man and his progeny, A curse of eternal servitude, To the perverter of destiny, Powerless despite divine similitude. Gabriel’s Annunciation, Fulfilment of messianic prophesy, Virgin birth by divine conception, In an age of great apostasy, Reestablishment of son ship, Reordination into priesthood, Reinstatement of kingship, Redemption hung on a cross of wood.
