| I watched them hang the Lord upon a cross, it wasn't kind I felt the earthquake, saw the curtain torn, it was a sign I watched the Sanhedrin end His life, far too soon Three days they'd sing a different tune... Yeah He'd save the world this man who was the King of Jews After all He'd done the priests could not believe the truth So He died on the cross to save all mankind from their sin I claimed his body, wrapped it up, used my tomb just for him Chorus: He's off to heaven not into primordal soup, oh man! I may be crazy but I think that they have slaughtered the lamb I'll wrap your body tight and Romans guard you In your crypt tonight I was afraid of what the others thought, it's so embarassing I bet they were surprised as Romans took your body down I shocked all them because I chose the Christ and did not pick these men I claimed you as my own and put your body in the ground [chorus] (Instrumental) [chorus/mellow] Yeah [chorus] Whoa-oa-oa Whoa-oa-oa Whoa-oa-oa | |||
