"His only child had drowned in
a lake,
as mother went insane"
Thank you for warm words! I attached the song to my post and I hope I did it legally, so you now can listen to it=)

I used "as far as" incorrectly. The whole sentence is (I corrected it): But peace has faded away just as his only child had drown in a lake, his mother (child's mother) went insane.

Can I use "just as" here? I am not sure if it is OK to use "his child" - meaning main character's child and then "his mother" - meaning child's mother. It's an assumption to fit the song's rhythm.

Means, I think something got lost in translation. Maybe clear that up a little bit more.
The whole sentence is: "Emptiness inside filled with real God. Rejuvenated man fronts Lord".
He feels so exhausted and when he gets to the end of his tether he feels powerful serge of energy which he takes for "real God". He decides to oppose (in my text - "front") Lord (in this context - religion) and to work a miracle - resurrect dead man, but fails.

I'm from Moscow, Russia=) Can you please help me to reconstruct those phrases?

Rejuvenated man fronts Lord - the character feels a surge of energy, he almost feels himself God and decides to oppose "Lord" (God he used to believe in when he was religious)

alloyed their rage with hoodoo monster was born - the character and his wife felt rage (synonyms - fury, frenzy, raving) (in fact his wife was mad) and they considered their life as failure, misfortune (in my text -hoodoo). In combination of those they had a baby who in fact was the Monster

But peace has faded away as far as only child had drown in a lake - I reviewed this line and came up with "But peace has faded away just as his only child had drown in a lake"
