Holy Wednesday
In Christianity, Holy Wednesday or Spy Wednesday, also called Holy and Great Wednesday in the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches, is the Wednesday of Holy Week, the week before Easter. It is followed by Maundy Thursday.
Biblical history
In the New Testament, just after Palm Sunday, the Sanhedrin gathered together and plotted to kill Jesus, even before the feast of Pesach. On the Wednesday before his death Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper. As they sat at the supper table, a woman named Mary anointed Jesus' head and feet with costly oil of spikenard. The disciples were indignant, asking why the oil was not instead sold and the money given to the poor. But Judas Iscariot wanted to keep the money for himself. Then Judas went to the Sanhedrin and offered to deliver Jesus to them in exchange for money. From this moment on, Judas sought an opportunity to betray Jesus.
In reference to Judas Iscariot's intent to betray Jesus, formed on Holy Wednesday, the day is sometimes called "Spy Wednesday". (The word spy, in obsolete usage, could mean "ambush, ambuscade, snare".)

Silence
by: HoldinsideLet's play pretend that we didn’t see the end
Writing a suicide notes in the silence
I don’t remember how to sleep
I start to loose all my feelings
I call you tonight
I consume you to arrive
To another place for me
Something that can make me free
To get me out
To get me out from here
From my dark season
Fill the emptiness to escape away from me
It's the way I breathe in the silence
Maybe these phantoms can read my mind
And help me more than this medication
Lets play pretend
That we didn’t feel the pain
Cause I can't explain why I’m here
I just consume you
To get me out
To get me out from here
To get me out from my own
My dark season
To fill me up
Or make me fall inside
To open up my eyes
Or find the reasons why I
Fall…
I fall…
The times doesn’t exist in that place,
And all is frozen and I can't hear you
But tomorrow maybe I will see you
From my inside from my end
Cause I’m in the middle of a new storm
Or rather too much inside me
To get me out
To get me out from here
To get me out from my own
My dark season
To fill me up
Or make me fall inside
To open op my eyes
Or find the reasons why I
Fall
I fall
I fall
