[ lyrics ]

I feel so cold
It grows so dark
They gather round
To watch me die

The mob that howled
Have gone so quiet
My strength is
Bleeding away

The nails are cruel
The lashes deep
The pains of hell
Are crushing me

Like wax my heart
It melts within
The wings of death
Rise over me

The sky is black
I'm so alone
Don't you hear me?
You hide your face
Why do you
Raise your sword
To strike me?

My God, my God
Oh why have You
Forsaken me?

It is finished now
The price is paid
And death lies dying here
Hell is led in chains
A door no-one can close
Is open now.

It is finished now
The price is paid
And death lies dying here
Come I am the way
My blood has made you clean
Come choose the life I give
