Theocracy - Easter lyrics

Three days in darkness far below d**h hearkens from an ago 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 dies 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 tearstained 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 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 d**h has died Easter glory, what an ending to the story My So, 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 heard Awaken now Remember Words you hid away A promise to rise after the third day It's Me Do you remember? All the things we'd hoped for And waited for so long The kingdom of deliverance is gone Faded like a candle snuffed out to k** the light The morning runs away into the night Let Me break apart The secrets you've held in your heard Awaken now Remember Words you hid away A promise to rise after the third day It's Me Do you remember? 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 d**h has died Easter glory, what an ending to the story My So, arise! 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 d**h has died Easter glory, what an ending to the story My So, arise! (Earth awaken, all creation open up your eyes again Alive again, for Christ hath torn the veil of darkness away) Easter glory, what an ending to the story My Son, arise!
