When We Were Young

Here I stand

And I'm waiting on something

Night has fallen on me

And the shadows flicker shapes of something

I don't want to see

All round, not a sound but my heartbeat

All alone, I should have known I am fated so

I wait for some certainty

I wait for eternity

Came the last night and the watch was his

Standing guard at the tomb of a fallen King

And he thought to himself as he cried

"Oh no! Look what I've done!"

Ever he thought that the spear was the way

So by its point he'd heap glory upon himself

Like the ancients of Greece and of Rome

Slaying dragons and kings

So he found that the spear would fly true

Straight to the side of the King of the Universe

Poor man, he knows what he's done

Came the last night and sorrow reigned as king

The kingdom of his heart

A weary broken heart

Angels descend in light

Came down to kill the night

And then with mighty voices

They shout love of their King

All Heaven rising now

All Heaven singing now

And so the very stars

Give voice to the victory song

"Death is defeated

Death is defeated

Death is defeated

Roll away! Roll away!

Roll away the stone!"

Here is glory

Oh, that the King would give His life

That mankind would grow

That mankind could know

Know Heaven

Sunshine in the morning sky

Descending from on high

Fierce creatures wrapped in light

Their faces burning bright

Our soldier fears the worst

Fate has bound him a mighty curse

For with glory in his grasp

(He slew the thing he sought)

Here stands Love by an empty grave

That soldier he seeks to save

Is nothing less than every man - every soul

Sons of Adam - daughters of Eve

That's why we hear him shout

Born to glory, we turn about

And face the Final king - and then we make our choice

rejoice!
