[(Strophe 1)] Death, you walked in shadows, tried to claim throne and fear, But your reign is numbered — the end, your end is drawing near. You’re not the final ruler, you have never been, you’re not a high thing- Because in Christ, your chains are broken, now we lift our voice and sing. And we praise the Lord Almighty He who is the only King [(Pre‑Chorus)] He who rose on the third day, He defeated darkest night, Sin and death surrendered, by His selfless bloody sacrifice. (Chorus) “For behold, He creates new heavens and a new earth,” — [Isaiah 65:17] “Every tear will be wiped away, no more death, no more pain,” — [Revelation 21:4] “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” — [1 Cor 15:55] “The sting of death is sin, but through the law you held no power,” — [1 Cor 15:56] “Thanks be to God! We have victory in Jesus Christ,” — [1 Cor 15:57] [(Bridge)] So long to sorrow, so long to tears, The former things are gone — in His love we have no fear. The last enemy destroyed — by the One who was pure who gave His life, Death, your day is done, you lost the final fight. [(Schluss‑Refrain / Outro)] New heavens, new earth, a glorious new song, We stand redeemed, we stand alive, forever in His arms. No more mourning, no more pain — for He has made all things new, In Jesus’ name we proclaim: death, we say to you — good‑bye, you’ve lost, Die death, you ´ve never been a friend of ours, good bye to you, good bye.
