On The Day The Sky Went Black

On the day the sky went black 

The Light of the World obscured 

Sins of the Earth strapped on His back 

The shame of the cross to endure

Oh - Oh

On the day the sky went black 

Christ in the death machine 

A Roman spear spilling blood from his side 

That would wash all the stained ones clean

Oh – oh Itʼs over and done, Itʼs over and done 

Oh – oh Itʼs over and done, Itʼs over and done 

From that dark travail 

He will claim the conflict won

And over death prevail to lift high the holy ones

To lift high the chosen sons to God

On the day the sky went black 

The Breath of God drew his last 

Death into life and light into dark 

And praise in the lungs of the blessed 

Oh – oh. Itʼs just a bite to the heel, a bite to the heel 

Oh – oh. And a bite to the heel gets a boot to the head

From that dark travail 

He will claim the conflict won

And over death prevail to lift high the holy ones

To lift high the chosen sons to God

On the day the sky went black 

The Light of the World shown high 

The debts of the Earth are paid in full 

And the well of wrath drained dry. 

Oh - oh

From that dark travail 

He will claim the conflict won

And over death prevail to lift high the holy ones

To lift high the chosen sons to God
