samara (christian metal) - the thief on the cross lyrics

[01. gestation]
[narrator]

on golgotha there hung three criminals all left to die
upon their crosses, each condemned to suffer for their crimes
a thief were two, a traitor one, who hung above that hill
until their final breaths were gone to leave them cold and still!

reflect, reflect upon your lives, the traitor calls them, turn
consider how this path has led to punishment you’ve earned
repent, repent! for on this day, triumphant i’ll arise
oh, will you join me? will you come to live in paradise?

[instrumental]

[02. insinuation]
[thief]

i was born
on a tuesday
in the heart
of the sea
left to grow
unattended
wander, child
where you please
beaten down
shattered, broken
struggling on
getting by
at the end
of my innocence
dreams of darkness filled my mind
[03. agitation]

and then
a moment filled with hope and horror
cut deep
and branded me far more than thief
one life
cut off by my hand forever
one life
left to mourn my act in grief

so when you ask me how i feel
when you say, dear child, repent and seek
your throne above, i don’t deserve
this paradise you speak

[04. glory]
[jesus]

my child, my child, i hang beside you
not to save the innocent!
if you were perfect, you were holy
why’d i call you to repent?
the invitation’s open, friend
to come into a world i’m makin’
new again, child, enter in
and see that all your sin’s forgiven!
you don’t have to die forever
join me on this great endeavour
spread the news, oh! tell the story
jesus christ has come in glory!
rescued now from death’s cold grasp
eternal life is yours at last!

[05. passion]
[instrumental]

[thief]

o lord my god, remember me as you enter into glory
take my soul, it’s all i know, and thankful, i can meet the setting sun

[outro + instrumental]
