the way from the palms
the basin, the chalice
shrouded in darkness
a muting of the colors
life soon to depart
the Lamb upon the cross
Suffering in darkness
the sun refusing to shine
the Son of God the sacrifice
crimson with our stain
a darkening of the colors
his blood pouring out
his life given for us
