Analysis of Dimmed
Archangel Lucifer entered the shrine of the Christ
Then dimmed to a lantern ignited in oil mist and light
He blessed the lucifers with a bow, that the alter boys carried
And watched as the newlyweds were risen up and married
Then as the holy church grew silent and still
He lit up like candles and prayed through dark fell
In thanks for a name that could not be tainted with ill will
As his name now rarely mentioned his hearts light is ever grew
