He's Gone

(альбом: The Word - 1984)

Heaven's flag flew at half mast
All creation stood quiet
Afraid to ask, "What comes next
Now that evil's in command?"
Satan laid down to take a rest
The battle was tough
But He proved He was the best
And He won, just like He planned

But then the stone rolled away
Hit a tree that shook the birds
Who shouted loud to the clouds
"Good news, have you heard?"
Ol' Satan woke in a huff
And said "What's going on?"
And all creation shouted back at him
"He's gone, yes He's gone!"

He's gone, He's gone
There ain't nothing you can do
He's gone, He's gone
He's gone and defeated you
You thought Calvary was Your victory
But you were wrong all along
Three days in the grave
And He's gone, yes, He's gone

Ol' Satan rolled his eyes
Shook his head and said "It can't be"
"It's a lie, I saw Him die
Three days ago on Calvary"
"He's dead, I know He's dead
Somebody please tell me they're wrong"
And all heavens shouted down at him
"He's gone, yes, He's gone!"

He's gone, He's gone
There ain't nothing you can do
He's gone, He's gone
He's gone and defeated you
You thought Calvary was Your victory
But you were wrong all along
Three days in the grave
And He's gone, yes, He's gone

He's gone, He's gone
There ain't nothing you can do
He's gone, He's gone
He's gone and defeated you
You thought Calvary was Your victory
But you were wrong all along
Three days in the grave
And He's gone, yes, He's gone
