| DE | ATH – that merciless violator of hope! Sucking life from air-starved lungs; crushing, bruising, breaking; denying the very function of every part! Obliterating life! |
|
| How | the nations fear you! | |
| A thousand thoughts flicker and die as the stuttering pulse fails, and one by one each body function denies its own existence. |
||
| Pale veins, numb nerves, stiffened sinew, all agree to make nothing of something – | ||
| UNTIL - THE - CHRIST - CAME | ||
| Violating the Violator! | ||
| He did not turn back its ravages, or reverse its cruel deeds. | ||
| Instead | – |
|
| from within the moment of putrefaction, | ||
He pressed forward, onward, upward, breaking new, beyond the limits of functional design, for all those who follow Him . . . forever . . . |
