Just as I was leaving, and just as I stopped feeling,
And just as I was dying and every word denying,
I felt the wound, saw the empty room 'cause you had flown away.

And just when I was sleeping, and just as I stopped breathing,
And just when I'd grown colder and thought that it was over,
Felt kingdom come,
Blood on my tongue rolls the stone away.

Now you fall like a shadow I cannot touch,
If faith itself is half the battle, I don't have much.

Roll the stone away,
Roll the stone away.

Just as worlds were ending, and just when I was winning,
And just as the door was closing, and just as my hand was folding,
The whole earth shakes, the stronghold breaks so you can fly away.

Now you fall like a shadow I cannot touch,
And faith itself is half the battle, I don't have much.

Roll the stone away,
Roll the stone away.

Well, it's good to know you own my soul and you have flown away,
So, how can I deny you when I've walked beside you'
Well, I'm just a coward crawling, and I am an angel falling,
Oh, carry me and bury me, as you roll the stone away.

Now you fall like a shadow I cannot touch,
And faith itself is half the battle, I don't have much.

So roll the stone away,
Roll the stone away,
So roll the stone away,
Roll the stone away.
