(Verse)
Cold stone walls, the damp of Roman night
A captive spirit bathed in blinding light
The chains are heavy, the flesh is but a veil
In this dark theater, the spirit shall prevail
I see the shadows dancing on the floor
An embassy in bonds, knocking at the door
To live is beauty, a fleeting, ghost-like breath
But there is a silver nectar found in death.
(Pre-Chorus)
I am emptied...
A hollow vessel for the divine...
The world is ash, the glory is Thine.
(Chorus)
But He emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant
Being made in human likeness...
He humbled Himself to the point of death
Even death on a cross!
(Verse)
The architecture of my pride falls down
I trade my kingdom for a thorny crown
What I once gained, I count as bitter loss
Beneath the looming shadow of the cross
Forget the things behind, the ghosts of yesterday
I press toward the mark, through the mist and grey
Citizens of heaven, wandering the night
Waiting for the dawn of everlasting light.
(Chorus)
But He emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant
Being made in human likeness...
He humbled Himself to the point of death
Even death on a cross!
(Bridge)
Rejoice... I say again, rejoice.
In the hunger, in the cold, in the silence of the cell.
I can do all things through the One who strengthens me.
The peace that passes understanding...
Guarding my heart... guarding my mind…
(Verse)
Whatever is lovely, whatever is pure
In this cathedral of pain, I shall endure
The mind is a garden where the nightshade grows
But I pull the thorns to find the mystical rose
Think on these things while the candlelight dies
Beyond the reach of the world’s hollow lies
The secret of contentment is a blade in the dark
Carving His name as a permanent mark.
(Chorus)
But He emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant
Being made in human likeness...
He humbled Himself to the point of death
Even death on a cross!
(Chorus)
But He emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant
Being made in human likeness...
He humbled Himself to the point of death
Even death on a cross!
(Outro)
In the darkness, there is joy.
In the suffering, there is peace.
The shadows flee...
The shadows flee...
