Death rides blackened clouds across the sky

Thunder rumbles all through hell

Who is there to free us should He die

For He holds the keys

For the shackles that had torn my wrists
D              A            Bb     C
Lay before me now upon the ground
   D            A           Bb  C
To sin I am no longer bound

  For from death's barren womb
    D
He heard my cry

And loosed the chains that bound me to a lie

And to all the things that have kept you away
      F#m        F#    Bm         A        G
That keep you defeated day after day after day
     Em             A
The heartache that nobody sees
      F#                       Bsus4       B
That eats at your soul like a cruel disease
Em      D                C
He who set the captives free
