An Easter single about the death and resurrection of Jesus

lyrics

[Part I: The Passion]

Father, if it could ever be,
Let this cup pass from me,
On the altar, I am the lamb,
The sacrifice for the sins of Man

The traitor's kiss to mark the Lord
Commanded he to sheathe their swords
"A king you are?" "You answer me."
"You stand accused of blasphemy"

He's brought before the Roman court
"I find no fault" was his report
"You'll have revolt upon your hands"
He sent Him off to scourge the man

Behold the man who's clad in red
And crown of thorns upon his head
"Come choose a man" as Pilate said
"Spare the thief, we want Him dead"

"I wash my hands of his demise"
Off he's sent and crucified
"Mock him not, he bears no crime"
"I'll take you up to Paradise"

Upon the cross, he said "It's done"
Behold the death of the Holy Son

[Part II: The Harrowing of Hell]

Father, into your hands, my spirit I commend
Into the depths of hell I descend

Righteous, I am your king I command you to rise
Martyrs, I've come to repay you for your sacrifice
Prophets, I am the one whom you've prophesized
Faithful, Awaken and follow the author of life

Blessed, I lead the just souls and open the gates
Heaven, For the kingdom the power and glory await
Father, I deliver the righteous and those who believe
Satan, Death has no power at all over me

Follow me to the everlasting life
Out of the darkness and to Paradise
By your own deeds and your faith you are saved
Your spirit and flesh reunite from the grave

[Part III: Empty Grave]

Agnus Deī
Quī tolis peccāta mundī
Miserēre nōbīs
Agnus Deī
Quī tolis peccāta mundī
Dōnā nōbīs requiem

The tomb has been opened
The scriptures fulfilled
As the prophets have spoken
As God's own will

He has gone to Galilee
And just as he said
The Lord you have buried
Rose up from the dead

Weep not my apostles
See the wounds on my hands
Not a ghost nor a spirit
But the flesh of a man

Glory be the Holy Father
Glory be the Son
Glory Be the Holy Spirit
Let thy will be done

Glory be the Holy Father
Glory be the Son
Glory Be the Holy Spirit
Let thy kingdom come

Glory be the Holy Father
Glory be the Son
Glory Be the Holy Spirit
Let thy will be done

about

Honor Bound Reno, Nevada

In the frostbitten heart of Reno, Nevada, an oath was sworn in blood to continue and expand the musical legacy of those who came before. From this sacrament, a band had formed and staked their claim as the last power metal band in Northern Nevada. They fly the flag of heavy metal-dom and proselytize its virtues to those who seek to find a new meaning. And to their oath, they are honor bound. ... more
