Legion

In darkest places do I dwell

In solitary tombs, hidden so well

Don’t you know my name?

I am many, I am one and the same

I will still cut and run away

Living, breathing, lovely

Send us down to drown

We beg him, in one voice

In endless pain we gather

Then I’ll bring us back again

Let the anger build in us

We return like Lazarus

And for every wrong I know

We double down below

Don’t believe the things you hear

Let our whispers kill your fear

Don’t believe the lies they tell

Just let us in, give me your shell

Condemnation of his innocence

There are more of us than you think

Free to combine or separate

I do conspire to kill the weak

We do conspire

Listen close and listen well

Become my citadel

I amass outside the hall

To await the judgment call

When they spout his innocence

We enact my recompense

Forget all about the flood

And demand they drain his blood

We know fear no longer

I have come for you

Infinitely stronger

We deny, we deny the truth

Call for crucifixion

Silence the bleating lamb

No more benediction

All is, we are, I am

Will always be

The Heavens shake

The Earth does quake

The blue sky darkens

What have we done?

What have I done?

Is there a way to stop it now?

And, oh, the horror of that empty tomb
