As loveless lust sought more for new.

Piercing through man's entrails.
Then leaving its victim void and weary
It falls away with no avails.

He lived, loved, and served in all simplicity,
Then died by the hands of those professing religiosity.
But, He arose the third day, breaking death’s jaws of fatality,
