Crown of Nails

[Verse 1]
He walks in iron light
Through blood and broken stone
A warrior with a wound
Yet He stands alone

The spear of shame is raised
The night cries out His name
He takes the blade for me
And wears the world’s blame

[Pre-Chorus]
Nails in His hands
Thorns on His brow
Still He won’t back down
Still He won’t bow

[Chorus]
Jesus, warrior
Death, meet your end
Jesus, warrior
Rise again
(He reigns)
Sin breaks now
(He reigns)
On holy ground

[Verse 2]
The sky goes black and thin
As Heaven leans in close
Angels hover over Him
While His breath grows slow

He’s dying, but He conquers
In the silence of the grave
Every stripe, every cut
Becomes the price that saves

[Pre-Chorus]
Nails in His hands
Thorns on His brow
Still He won’t back down
Still He won’t bow

[Chorus]
Jesus, warrior
Death, meet your end
Jesus, warrior
Rise again
(He reigns)
Sin breaks now
(He reigns)
On holy ground

[Bridge]
Lift the broken banner
The King was pierced for us
Bled like a lamb, yet mighty
Struck, and still He rises up

[Breakdown]
Death could not hold Him
Hell could not cage Him
Sin lost its crown
When the Savior faced it
Death could not hold Him
He tore the veil down
The Warrior dies
And the grave falls down

[Final Chorus]
Jesus, warrior
Death, meet your end
Jesus, warrior
Rise again
(He reigns)
Sin breaks now
(He reigns)
On holy ground
