[Intro] [Opens with hypnotic motorik drums, pulsing synth bass, and robotic arpeggiators.] [Verse 1] They led Him out to the Place of the Skull Broken and beaten, the spectacle dull Wine mixed with gall, He refused the taste Nails through the flesh, no time to waste Whatever they do, they know not the crime Dividing His clothes, casting lots for a dime Above His head, the charge stands plain King of the Jews, in the midst of the pain! [Chorus] [Explosive, melodic, soaring vocals over power chords] This is the ransom, the price for the soul Broken body to make us all whole! For God so loved that He gave His only Son The war against death has already been won From the wages of sin, we are finally free Washed by the blood on the Calvary tree! [Verse 2] From noon until three, the darkness fell down A shadow of judgment covering the town He cried out loud in a voice full of strain "My God, my God!" through the echo of pain Some stood by and they waited to see If Elijah would come to set this man free But the vinegar sponge was lifted on high To wet the lips of the One born to die! [Chorus] This is the ransom, the price for the soul Broken body to make us all whole! For God so loved that He gave His only Son The war against death has already been won From the wages of sin, we are finally free Washed by the blood on the Calvary tree! [Bridge] The curtain is torn! (Top to the bottom!) The earth starts to shake! (The rocks split apart!) The tombs break open! (The holy ones rise!) The centurion stares with fear in his eyes! He cries out the truth to the darkening sky: "Surely this man was the Son of God!" "IT IS FINISHED!" [Verse 3] No longer slaves to the dark and the grave He offered Himself, the mighty to save The debt has been cleared, the ledger is red Life everlasting rising up from the dead Believe in the Name, and the chains fall away The Night is defeated by the Light of the Day! [Chorus] This is the ransom, the price for the soul Broken body to make us all whole! For God so loved that He gave His only Son The war against death has already been won From the wages of sin, we are finally free Washed by the blood on the Calvary tree! [Outro] Free from the wages! Free from the sin! Eternal Life! Let the Kingdom begin!
