Worship - I Am The End - Crucifixion Part II lyrics

rate me

I surrender<br />

Too weak to carry on<br />

My bones struggle<br />

Towards the soil<br />

<br />

I know the end<br />

I know all's in place<br />

For my departure<br />

My sacrifice<br />

The bane of yore<br />

Yet bridge to a dawn beyond<br />

My mind left me and the infernal pain behind, <br />

As my flesh and the nails united.<br />

There was a scream somewhere, <br />

And my cross was raised against the muted twilight moon."<br />

<br />

[Epilogue:]<br />

Throughout man's rise and fall, stone would hardly change.<br />

The cave in the mountains would see them wake again, <br />

And again, unmoved. This time, something changed.<br />

Carven into the rock above a bed of stone, <br />

These words would meet the Newborn: "Brother, this is my legacy. I woke as you have, <br />

Torn from his flesh, as you are.<br />

I tried to stop them as you will.<br />

I failed, but you will prevail. And here is how..."
