The Death Of Death Songtext
von Wendell Kimbrough

Told myself I was leaving
had no love left to give
I was angry from screaming
at a man who would not live

These are things beyond my power
things that I can′t control
Who can blame my surrender?
Who can tell me I'm wrong?

So I sailed to the far side
with my white flag up against the waves
When I saw that I was losing
I admit I was scared and ran away


This is life on the dark side
of the sword and the flame
And my clenched fists are bleeding
from a fight I can′t sustain
As I fled from my outpost
as I took on the blame
All the ground I surrendered
all my friends have reclaimed

And they came with their arms full
of the good things that I had thrown away
And I watched as their candles
turned the night that was round us into day

You have built up the dark side
buried men down deep beneath their shame
But the heel that you strike now
will return to trample on your face
We have smashed down the doors now
and the light floods in upon your face
All your prisoners are laughing
and your former slaves are giving thanks

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
