lyrics

Reporter through Chorus (flashback):
The soldiers led J.C. to the palace courtyard
and called the other soldiers over too
they put a purple robe on him,
and on his head
they placed a crown,
made out of thorns.

They made fun of him and shouted,
"Hail, our great king!",
then they beat him on the head with a stick,
they spat on him and
knelt down to worship him,
pretended to worship him.

Reporter :
I see back to a different time
so cruel and unjust,
it should belong to history,
but it`s here, here right now.

The soldiers are taking off the purple robe,
putting his clothes back on him,
they are now out in the main city street,
they`re marching between wings of crowd.

Reporter + Chorus:
All is done!
All is done!

Reporter through Chorus (flashback):
They took him to the place called the Skull
and offered him wine mixed with drugs,
a drink to ease the pain,
but he refused it,
he refused to drink .

It was about nine o'clock in the morning,
they nailed him to a cross and gambled to see
who would get his clothes, under the sign that said:
"This is our King".
"This is our King".

Reporter + Chorus:
All is done!
All is done!

Reporter:
I see back to a different time,
so cruel and unjust,
it should belong to history,
but it`s here, here right now

People passing by are shouting at him:
"You`re the one who have claimed
I can tear the temple down to the ground
and build a new one in three days!"

Mob:
Come down from the cross
And save yourself!
Come down from the cross
And save yourself!
He saved others,
but he can't save himself.
He saved others,
but not himself.

If he`s the Christ,
let him come down the cross
If he`s the Christ,
let him come down the cross
that we may see and believe
let him come down the cross
that we may see
that we may see and believe!
