Verse 1

A crowd marches on
Towards Jerusalem
With first light of dawn
“Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?”

Silence fills the court
By his assertive nod
Freedom will last short
The defendant shares no blood of God

Pre – Chorus

Time, will not erase the sign
Marked upon the line
That separates men from your kingdom

Thrived, through your filicide
Put your son aside
And let he be tried by the sinful

Half Chorus

Roman swords mirror twilight
Upon a touch of lips
Branded the son of light
The martyr on the scripts

Bent by the Sanhedrin
And yet so long to travel
Just to collapse within
Under the weight of the gavel


Verse 2

The light begins to fade
As the high priest spoke
A liar in the shade
Of a man who swears to be son of God

Father has forsaken
His own flesh and blood
His only heir taken
To be murdered far away from home

Pre – Chorus

Time, will not erase the sign
Marked upon the line
That separates men from your kingdom

Thrived, through your filicide
Put your son aside
And let he be tried by the sinful

Chorus

Roman swords mirror twilight
Upon a touch of lips
Branded the son of light
The martyr on the scripts

Bent by the Sanhedrin
And yet so long to travel
Just to collapse within
Under the weight of the gavel

Tried before the land
Under his father’s eyes
Through the desert sand
He’ll know his own demise


A crown to pierce the skin
Thy lie it will unravel
To swear the end of sin
Under the weight of the gavel

Interlude

Have you left me father
For the life of these men
Who’ve blackened your name
And live their life in shame

Am I guilty now
Carrying your word to the cross
Left to die as a man
I’m sorry for your loss

Chorus

Roman swords mirror twilight
Upon a touch of lips
Branded the son of light
The martyr on the scripts

Bent by the Sanhedrin
And yet so long to travel
Just to collapse within
Under the weight of the gavel

Tried before the land
Under his father’s eyes
Through the desert sand
He’ll know his own demise

A crown to pierce the skin
Thy lie it will unravel
To swear the end of sin
Under the weight of the gavel
