Lyric

Cruel is my fate

A darkened gate

A silence great

And shadows

A frozen tomb

A cold, still room

I stand in gloom

Without the light around me

But I’ve already risen

With the break of dawn

To my sacred land

Where my life calls me forward

An empty grave

My life remade

A different role

I’ve come again to follow

Though they say that I have died

Though they shed their tears of night

It was only a joke I played

A trick on Death, a harmless shade

I came back from the other side

Broke the seal of my own grave wide

By divine grace I finally caught

Death himself inside my plot

But I’ve already risen

With the break of dawn

To my sacred land

Where my life calls me forward

An empty grave

My life remade

A different role

I’ve come again to follow

Though they say that I have died

Though they shed their tears of night

It was only a joke I played

A trick on Death, a harmless shade

I came back from the other side

Broke the seal of my own grave wide

By divine grace I finally caught

Death himself inside my plot

Now bones and broken frames

Shattered forms and names

Are filling up with flesh again

And life begins to breathe

The resurrection’s seed

God rising in the skin of men

Though they say that I have died

Though they shed their tears of night

It was only a joke I played

A trick on Death, a harmless shade

I came back from the other side

Broke the seal of my own grave wide

By divine grace I finally trapped

Death—yes, that bastard—dead in my grasp

And life now floods my veins

Resurrection once again

God rising in the skin of men

Though they say that I have died

Though they shed their tears of night

It was only a joke I played

A trick on Death, a harmless shade

I came back from the other side

Broke the seal of my own grave wide

By divine grace I finally trapped

Death—yes, that bastard—dead in my grasp
