Golgotha's Peak

The heavy timber grinds the bone He climbs the mount of skulls alone No armor shines, no shield is raised The sun turns black, the heavens dazed The ancient serpent waits above To strike the heel of perfect love The venom drips from iron and thorn The final battlefield is born The hammer strikes the iron, the iron bites the wood The gods of earth are shattered where they stood He bears the weight of sin beneath a blackened sky The Maker of the world has come to die! On Golgotha's Peak, the hammer falls! The venom bites, the serpent crawls! He takes the strike to end the war! The jaws of death can bite no more! He crushes the head beneath His heel! And forces the lords of death to kneel! The spear is thrust into His side The turning of the cosmic tide The roots of Yggdrasil unbind He leaves the shattered world behind The temple veil is torn in two His blood descends to make it new The serpent's fang is buried deep But the King of kings will only sleep The hammer strikes the iron, the iron bites the wood The gods of earth are shattered where they stood He bears the weight of sin beneath a blackened sky The Maker of the world has come to die! On Golgotha's Peak, the hammer falls! The venom bites, the serpent crawls! He takes the strike to end the war! The jaws of death can bite no more! He crushes the head beneath His heel! And forces the lords of death to kneel! Three days of silence in the stone. He descends to claim His rightful throne. He storms the gates of Hel and night. He binds the beast. He brings the light. HE. BINDS. THE. BEAST. HE. BRINGS. THE. LIGHT! On Golgotha's Peak, the hammer falls! The venom bites, the serpent crawls! He takes the strike to end the war! The jaws of death can bite no more! He crushes the head beneath His heel! And forces the lords of death to kneel! It is finished.
