[Classic Rock Intro - Dark Lead Guitar Riff with heavy drums] [Verse 1] I stood there at the foot of that ugly cross Watching as the sky turned dark as night The soldiers mocked, the crowd gnashed their teeth My heart broke into pieces at the sight He hung there bleeding under a crown of thorns The weight of every sin in every nail Then He raised His head toward heaven and cried With a love that tore through the vail [Pre-Chorus] No more striving, no more chains The sacrifice, the Lamb was slain [Chorus] Tetelestai It is finished The debt is paid The veil is torn Every promise Every prophecy Fulfilled in Him forevermore Tetelestai The work is done No other price No other One Could bring us home Could make us right Tetelestai The victory’s won [Verse 2] I used to carry guilt like heavy stones Trying to earn what I could never buy I’d run to altars, I’d pray the prayers But still my soul would cry Then grace came crashing like a wave That washed my record clean away And now I stand with empty hands Before the One who said He’d pay [Pre-Chorus] No more striving, no more chains The perfect Lamb has taken my place [Chorus] Tetelestai It is finished The debt is paid The veil is torn Every promise Every prophecy Fulfilled in Him forevermore Tetelestai The work is done No other price No other One Could bring us home Could make us right Tetelestai The victory’s won [Short Instrumental Bridge- Electric Guitar Shredding] [Bridge] Sometimes the shadows whisper doubt And fear tries to steal my peace again But I remember that final shout And I lift my voice and sing… It is finished! Oh, it is finished! The grave is empty, the curse is broken Death has lost its sting! [Final Chorus] Tetelestai It is finished The old is gone The new has come We are forgiven We are loved By the risen, reigning Son Tetelestai Forever done The story’s written The battle’s won So let us live in this sweet truth Tetelestai For me and you [Tag] Tetelestai It is finished Praise the Lord, it is finished Forever, Amen [End]
