Threefold Darkness

Threefold darkness ! A mystery by which creation Received light that frees mankind From stronghold of darkness It started with the son of Amittai Who needed three dark nights in a fish Deep in the belly of Ocean To save a city under siege of darkness For the man of Tarsus Three blind nights for a wizard of law To handle the torch required To lit shrines of the gentiles And halt incense from dark altars On the day of eternal jungle justice When king of light was the scapegoat To bear burden of the sinful nature An eclipse quenched the noon sun For one-two-three dark hours Grave received his lifeless battered body Hell watched for almost three darkness As equation of destiny was balanced To fulfill claims of divine justice Upon his emergence from Hades The abode of light was opened This light saints now carry around Illuminating dark covens and prisons To set free precious souls Long held in dungeon.
