INCARNATE

Immortal soul, grand and divine 
An old power that aged like wine 
He reigned before the earth was born 
Before the first of worlds was torn 

On earth, he came to be a king 
He's like an angel without wing 
In flesh and bone he came to rest 
To face the world and pass the test 

In his new form, he lived like us 
Just like a stranger in a bus 
In crown of thorn, he took his reign 
Blood and water flowed from his vein

He died like us in human form 
He's nailed on cross just like a norm
With every blood he poured on soil 
All souls were save without a spoil
