The Man That Died (feat. Terence Hillyer)
There in the city, the family and I
Up from Cyrene for the feast
Jerusalem heaved like a creature alive
The streets seemed to know no peace
Then out of nowhere a crowd filled the street
Their hate and contempt soured the air
And there in the dust of the road at our feet
A man with a cross to bear
His back was ripped open, and his blood had stained the stones
The mob was crazed, like dogs they bayed for blood
But who was this unfortunate, whose flesh hung from his bones
Who was this they dragged through the mud
Then through my horror, a guard pulled me out
He said bear his cross for awhile
I shook my hands but he started to shout
So I shared the cross that mile
Oooo oooo oooooo
Oooo oooo oooooo
And then through the clamour, they cried out his name
Jesus the Nazarene
So this was the prophet, we'd heard of his fame
But why this unholy scene
His eyes hardly opened, and his face was black and torn
But in his eyes I saw no hint of fear
And there upon his head I saw he wore a crown of thorns
Suddenly, I'm blinded by tears
Oooo oooo oooooo
Oooo oooo oooooo
And, all too soon, we arrived at the hill
The cross from our shoulders was raised
They told me to go, but I stayed with him still
On this strangest of stranger days
I watched as they nailed him, and raised the cross up high
And dropped it in the ground on which we stood
I watched as darkness fell before its time into the sky
I knew without a doubt this man was good
Then, in a hush, came the voice I still hear
Father, forgive them, he cried
Then in that moment, I started to fear
Who was this man they'd crucified
Who was the man that died
Who who who was the man that died
Who who who was the man that died
Up from Cyrene for the feast
Jerusalem heaved like a creature alive
The streets seemed to know no peace
Then out of nowhere a crowd filled the street
Their hate and contempt soured the air
And there in the dust of the road at our feet
A man with a cross to bear
His back was ripped open, and his blood had stained the stones
The mob was crazed, like dogs they bayed for blood
But who was this unfortunate, whose flesh hung from his bones
Who was this they dragged through the mud
Then through my horror, a guard pulled me out
He said bear his cross for awhile
I shook my hands but he started to shout
So I shared the cross that mile
Oooo oooo oooooo
Oooo oooo oooooo
And then through the clamour, they cried out his name
Jesus the Nazarene
So this was the prophet, we'd heard of his fame
But why this unholy scene
His eyes hardly opened, and his face was black and torn
But in his eyes I saw no hint of fear
And there upon his head I saw he wore a crown of thorns
Suddenly, I'm blinded by tears
Oooo oooo oooooo
Oooo oooo oooooo
And, all too soon, we arrived at the hill

They told me to go, but I stayed with him still

And dropped it in the ground on which we stood
I watched as darkness fell before its time into the sky
I knew without a doubt this man was good
Then, in a hush, came the voice I still hear
Father, forgive them, he cried
Then in that moment, I started to fear
Who was this man they'd crucified
Who was the man that died
Who who who was the man that died
Who who who was the man that died
