Three days in darkness far below

Death hearkens from an age ago

The ancient promise that we waited for so long

Has gone away

All hope is lost

Left upon that cross

A bloodstained robe

It seems redemption's dream has died

Visions and the prophecies all washed away in vain

Groanings of creation as it cries out in pain

Sacrosanct the stories of what is and what will be

All foretold this was supposed to end so differently

All nature mourns in unison

Creation forms its requiem

Branded with the mark of sin and shame

A life laid down, a cursed name

A crown forsaken, burden, blame

Another cycle just the same

Is this the end of Promise

Dying all alone?

Easter morning's Son will rise

Radiance warming tear-stained eyes

The Son of Man shall be raised up on the third day

The grave denied

(Run and see the stone has rolled away behold the way

They're trembling in terror at the grave)

Is this an empty promise, that we've been waiting for?

Because I'm so afraid to get my hopes up anymore

Is this a cruel illusion? Or could it really be

The miracle of miracles unfolding right in front of me?

Blinding angel, white as lightning

Violent earthquakes, do not fear

Why seek the living among the dead?

Behold, He is not here

Glory! Glory! Hope is alive

And lifted up, before your eyes

Waking all the world, open gates to paradise

Now it's done, life has come, death has died

Easter glory

What an ending to the story

My Son, arise!

Early misty morning

Just before the dawn

An empty tomb, a broken body gone

Thieves have done their bidding

Before the light of day

They've stolen him and taken him away

Let me break apart the secrets

You've held in your heart

Awaken now, remember

We're to here await the promise

To rise after the third day

It's me to you - remember

All the things we've hoped for

And waited for so long

The kingdom of deliverance is gone

Fated like a candle

Snuffed out to kill the light

The morning rises away into the night

Let me break apart the secrets

You've held in your heart

Awaken now, remember

We're to here await my promise

To rise after the third day

It's me to you - remember, remember

Glory! Glory! Hope is alive

And lifted up, before your eyes

Waking all the world, open gates to paradise

Now it's done (Now it's done), life has come (Life has come)

Death has died

Glory! Glory! Hope is alive

And lifted up, before your eyes

Waking all the world, open gates to paradise

Now it's done, life has come

Death has died

Easter glory

What an ending to the story

My Son, arise!
