The Prince of Darkness Vs the Father of Greatness

His lips are the west gates of night His lips are the east gates of light Bursting night and light, we say thus: “Lord, Father, have mercy on us” His height is the five depths we view His height is the ten skies of blue Deep chasm and sky’s tower, thus: “Lord, Father, have mercy on us” He sits on wheels of fate that binds He sits on the wheels of blessed winds Wheels of stars, wheels moved by wind, thus: “Lord, Father, have mercy on us” Has a burning scroll blistering Has a burning scroll flickering Destroying flames, cleansing flames, thus: “Lord, Father, have mercy on us” His hand holds a wolf with no love His hand has an eagle and dove Earth bound demons, sky angels, thus: “Lord, Father, have mercy on us” His eyes are the black stars of might His eyes are the sun in its light Dead stars and twin suns that shine, thus: “Lord, Father, have mercy on us” Comets shaking, planets falling The earth shaking, the skies crawling When Jesus the Splendour comes, thus: “Lord, Father, have mercy on us” We must stay away from the night The bondage of the prince of might Lord guide us to you; we say thus: “Lord, Father, have mercy on us”
