While you slept, the promise was unkept
But your faith was as sure as the stars
While Christ was put into a coma that cause all life to sleep that we call death. His promise was not kept because the earlier Christians of his time period was killed off and his teachings was lost to the world and replaced will the devil's version of God and Christ and the Holy Ghost. So, he and many others were being reborn into the devil's world, that waited for them like a wolf, to slaughter sheep.
