Jesus Is Betrayed by Judas

Who is this that comes amidst the shadows in the night
Swords and spears and one man’s kiss the weapons at their side
His words are empty his lips no more
Do what you have come for

Why do you march on Him as though you have met your match
Twelve legions wait upon him but his Father holds them back
Choose wise the side you take up in this war
But do what you have come for

For this is your hour
This is the reign
Of darkness unmentioned
Of darkness untamed

You ask his name as though he is some thief you’ve longed to see
His answer short but shakes the air and drags you to your knees
He stood in the temple he lived upon its floor
But do what you have come for

For this is your hour
This is the reign
Of darkness unmentioned
Of darkness untamed
So over and over
His mercies can come
To fly the banner high and victorious
