Crimson Thorn Beaten Beyond Lyrics

Beaten beyond recognition
A mutilation extreme
The sacrificial lamb prepared for slaughter
God in the form of man, holy and supreme

Chief Priest plot to kill based on blasphemy
Innocent blood betrayed and denied
case built on envy

Not a word spoken in defense
witness no longer needed
symbolic washing of the hands
the crowds violent hatred feeded

Fulfillment of the prediction
acknowledgement counted among the wicked the onslaught of agony
despisement shown in a bloodied frenzy

arrival of the execution
excruciating pain entwined with suffering
testimony of humiliations punishing demands
pouring forth the innocent blood of the nazarene

mourning over the body, awaiting annointing
darkness reveling a sorrowful doom
lamented weepging concluded at the skull
covenat shed, forgiveness of sins
