furious endurance and faith

  furious endurance and faith
yes i am in these dark times
the angel of the lord descends and bears my cross
i shall not falter at gethsemene gogoltha
ferocious lashes of the fourteen stations
dead people follow me wherever i go
thy rod and thy staff shall comfort me
thine arrows protect thine electric thine gamma
of jerusalem i will say nothing
of orthodoxy i will give the world
