Smith & Dragoman The Darkest Pit (siyyah-chal) lyrics

Imprisoned for an action
A crime that He did not commit
Disdainful in His eyes

Attempted murder on
On his majesty
And no tribunal could place Him there

Barefoot and bareheaded
Chains dig deep into His skin
He is made to enter

Descend into the darkness
Descend into the darkest pit
The Síyáh-Chál

*“…I beheld a maiden…suspended in the air before Me”

And the words that were said as she pointed to His head
Transformed the darkness into light

**“God is sufficient unto m; He verily
Is the All-Sufficing”

Hear the weeping, hear them cry
He waves goodbye to the lovers that stand by His side
Touch the angels, touch the sky,
Hear their gentle voices singing chanting in the night

*(Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By p. 101-102)
