Viernes Santo 3 P.M

In 'Viernes Santo 3 P.M,' Skar delves into the complex and often tumultuous relationship between faith, sacrifice, and divine silence. The song opens with a plea to a higher power, 'Oh mi señor, escucha esta oración!' This sets the tone for a deeply personal and anguished dialogue with God. The narrator questions whether God is genuinely pleased or merely mocking those who have sacrificed for Him, '¿O solo ries con sarcasmo? De quienes te han matado.' This line suggests a profound disillusionment with the divine, hinting at a sense of betrayal or abandonment.

The imagery of being a 'slave who prays' and offering the 'thorns of my soul' to place on God's head is striking. It evokes the idea of self-inflicted suffering and martyrdom, reminiscent of the Passion of Christ. The narrator's voice 'bleeds and writhes,' indicating a deep, visceral pain that goes unheard by the divine. This silence from God, 'Haces bien en callar para no escuchar mis plegarias,' adds to the sense of despair and futility in the narrator's faith journey.

The song takes a darker turn with the mention of descending into hell and the mission being accomplished, 'Hoy bajas al infierno, la misión se ha consomado.' This could symbolize a loss of faith or a realization that the divine plan involves suffering and darkness. The final lines, 'Osana en el cielo, ¡osana astaroth!' juxtapose traditional religious exclamations with the name of a demon, Astaroth, further emphasizing the conflict between faith and doubt, light and darkness. Skar's lyrics paint a haunting picture of spiritual struggle, questioning the very nature of divine justice and mercy.
