[Intro – low, dirty guitar] In the garden… He dropped— [RIFF KICKS IN] [Verse 1] Gethsemane—down on His knees Sweat hit blood—crushing weight Kiss in the dark—sold for silver Bound like a thief—but He’s no sinner Dragged through courts—no truth, no grace Fists and spit across His face [Pre-Chorus – stripped] He said nothing— Took it all— [BREAK] [Chorus – HIT HARD] THIS IS THE WALK OF THE KING FLESH TORN OPEN—BONES BENEATH CROWN OF THORNS DRIVEN DEEP STILL HE STANDS—STILL HE BLEEDS THIS IS THE WEIGHT HE WOULD BRING EVERY SIN UPON HIS FRAME CRUSHED DOWN HARD— BUT STILL HE STOOD [Verse 2 – heavier] Leather cracks—back split wide Bone and blood from every strike Thorns pressed down into His skull Mocked and crowned—twisted and cruel Purple robe on shattered skin They laugh while driving thorns back in Wood drops hard across His spine Every step breaks down with time [Pre-Chorus] Can’t stand— Still He moves— [BREAK] [Chorus] THIS IS THE WALK OF THE KING FLESH TORN OPEN—BONES BENEATH CROWN OF THORNS DRIVING DEEP STILL HE STANDS—STILL HE BLEEDS THIS IS THE WEIGHT HE WOULD BRING EVERY SIN UPON HIS FRAME CRUSHED DOWN HARD— BUT STILL HE STOOD [Breakdown – gritty] Falls once—hits the ground Falls twice—no strength now Falls three—still forced up World watching— while He bleeds out Simon lifts—but just a part Still the weight is on His heart [Bridge – slower] Nails driven through His hands Feet pinned down into the wood Push for breath— collapse again— Do what only He could [Build] “It is finished…” [Final Chorus – biggest but raw] THIS IS THE WALK OF THE KING NAILS THROUGH FLESH—TEARING BONE PINNED BETWEEN THE EARTH AND SKY SUFFOCATING—LEFT ALONE THIS IS THE PRICE HE WOULD BRING EVERY DROP—EVERY PAIN DEATH THOUGHT IT HAD HIM— BUT IT WON’T REMAIN [Outro – dirty, slow] They laid Him down… Stone rolled shut… Three days… Wasn’t enough.
