ApologetiX - Cemetery Came Alive lyrics

Parody of "Semi-Charmed Life" performed by Third Eye Blind and written by Stephan Jenkins (Matthew 27:51-53) He's back and I'm hopin' you'll find Him He's livin', He's comin', He lives for me Says that we should teach the nations about His salvation Jesus died and He rose – I believe And it makes me smile, hope it does for you To 27 Matthew come and we'll review Jesus died and then the earth moved Temple curtain was ripped and then divided in two When it seemed as though things were gonna get worse Brothers came alive that belonged in a hearse There's a lot of people in their graves Who came out and they was raised, I said That was something else When every Jewish cemetery came alive, baby, baby That was something else And now Christians ain't afraid ... to die Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do He died and rose -- listen folks You should take a tip from a dude who knows And I wish I could get back there someplace after Violently the earth began to shake Soon the curse of d**h was lifted off us in its wake It broke rocks The folks in town where in shock When the stiffs that had risen went out for a walk 'Cause when they jumped up They took a trip around the city And went up to men and then went up to Heaven and Now we'll all go back there too The place with all those who sleep in Christ who **The place where all those who sleep in Christ who **The saints who all fell asleep in Christ who Followed our Savior up unto The place where He went CHORUS I believe that the man named Jesus rose I preach 'cause it's real and not just a feeling I believe and my faith it grows And before I close, you may be bright But when it's the truth, it's real And I could die and I would be all right, all right And when complaints come in from anyone nasty Who tell us that it's just an idiot myth On the verge of being a lie Now I shrug 'cause truth survives Though they choose to carry out jealous threats Scornin' Jesus and bustin' heads That little-read pa**age in Matthew says That up around the bend we'll break out of our caskets Sprung -- not as zombies or as ghost men But as something that's more than human forevermore If I get buried underground Not scared -- I'm not goin' down – oh, no My Lord's runnin' my life He's got my tombstone knocked down with a smile And I will be all right, all right That was something else When He gave you His life, baby That was something else And now Christians ain't afraid ... to die To die, to die, to die! He died and rose -- listen folks You should take a tip from a dude who knows In the twenty-seventh chapter The Gospel of Matthew Is the place where you should start
