Three Best Days
Triumph Over Darkness: Three Days that Shattered Hell's Grip
Lyrics
The three best days of the devil's life
The devil's three best days, referring to moments he believed he had triumphed.
He thought he had You crucified
The devil believed he succeeded in crucifying someone (possibly symbolic of Jesus).
Must not have heard You say You'd rise

You got up and then death died

The three best days of the devil's life

He thought he had You crucified
-Must not have heard You say You'd rise
-You got up and then death died
-May every song I ever sing
Expresses a desire for every song sung to bring light and dispel darkness.
Awake the dawn and chase the night away
Hope that the songs will dispel the night, symbolizing negativity or challenges.
May it chase the night away
-May every prayer I ever pray
Wishing that prayers invoke fear in the gates of hell.
Alert the gates of hell to be afraid
Stating that hell should be afraid of the prayers being offered.
All of hell should be afraid
