Written by Cody Adams
Who tore iron gates off hellish hinges?
Who bent glowing bars
with cool, clenched fists?
Whose divine stare
eclipsed flame-thrown gaze?
Whose bruised heels tread tortuous
paths in barren-black void?
Whose victory shriek drowned out
accusations hurled?
Who now waits in paces, poised?
The Christ.
