Hanging above the ground All my limbs are bound You're on the right hand With your head down Tears from eyes that cannot see He took the blame from me So shall it be written So shall it be done Watching, waiting Staring at the Son Not even knowing Who you are Three hours have gone by We start to question why Darkness falls in finding out Why you must die We can no longer see the Son The three untie into one Please forgive us Father We know not what we've done
This has to be one of my fav Extreme songs...The intensity is amazing, the music is outstanding, and if anyone were to get 'saved' this song would be a catalyst in their eternal life. ;-)
I was very surprised to find how accurately they depicted events in the song...very cool.
@onemisguidedrose The lyrics are outstanding in the way this amazing message is conveyed. Of course Nuno's guitarwork is awesome. One of my favorite solos of all time.
Huge Extreme fan, but Gary Cherone is terrible on this song -- the first note of every verse he sings is flat, it drives me nuts. Nuno is this band, period
Yes, this is from the perspective of the thief who was saved on the cross. Here's how it went down - one thief hurled insults at Christ. The other admitted to sin and asked Jesus to remember him as He came into His kingdom. Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." See Luke 23:32-43
The crusifixion from the perspective of one of the theives hung beside Christ. Awesome lyric. The one who got pissed at his partner on the other side of Christ because his partner was dissin' JC and teasing Him. He said "At least we deserve to be up here coz we actually are criminals...JC doesn't deserve this..."
They should put this song back in the set list.It has some amazing vocals by Gary and Nuno.This song could go perfect in a live show if it's played right after Our Father.
u guys this song is about a crusification.about gods sacrifice. and it is a beautyfull song.and im not religious at all i just know from a extreme tab book i have.

Someday, somebody might write a song that's almost as awesome as this one...
...but probably not. This is the single greatest piece of music ever recorded. It's been my favorite song for more than 20 years.

Great band. I used to jam in the same building in Boston before they were big. They helped my band move in and we all hung out many times.
