Our regained hope was re-lost days before
Damnation was the plan from the onset?
We try to hope on hopes dashed to their core
Strength failing. Mind doubting. Before us – death.
He was our last hope, according to the books
The prophecies read He was the liberator –
The knight that smote the hand of the oppressor
Didn’t we watch Him die beside common crooks?
He died. Yes, He died. There’s no argument. He died.
What more is there to death but an end?
His body lies in the tomb. Can we pretend?
But He would rise again. What if He lied?
