Death of a Friend...

i go back in time, to the time of your death

i see you hanging on the cross, your face is a mess

your body is in shambles, it is hard to tell that it is you

i want to stop them, but i don't know what to do

they beat you and mock you then curse your holy name

i try to tell them to stop but i can't and i become ashamed

you look at me with eyes full of love

as if saying, you are now washed white as a dove

i tell you i am sorry, you say you understand

you are doing this to take away the sins of man

i say i wish there was another way, so that you wouldn't have to die this day

but you say it will be okay

that you will rise again,in just three days

then you will go back to heaven to reign

you say that you love me, as i look at the nail through your hands

i am finally beginning to understand 

you look me one last time as you give up the ghost

i now know that you did this so i can one day join you and the heavenly host
