lyrics

My child, don't you cry
It don't matter how hard you try
There's nothing to do or say
That price was too great to pay

The grip of the devil's hand
was spread out across the land
I hold the keys that bind
And I declare victory mine
The death that once held you no longer has power to bite

My child, don't give in
There's no good to come from sin
My father, in him you win
His love is deep within

The grip of the devil's hand
was spread out across the land
I hold the keys that bind
And I declare victory mine
The death that once held you no longer has power

Tear down these temple walls
In three days I'll build them again
The veil of the law it is done
Through my blood the battle is won
The death that once held you no longer has power

The holes in my hands and the holes in my feet
For the pain of the world they speak
I suffered so that you might not feel the heat
of the fire under your feet

The holes in my hands and the holes in my feet
For the pain of the world they speak
I suffered so that you might not feel the heat
Of the burning under your feet!

Tear down these temple walls
In three days I'll build them again
The veil of the law it is done
Through my blood the battle is won
The death that once held you no longer has power to bite
