Guards The earth is quaking, we’re all so shaken Our lives are flashing, we’re so forsaken The end is near, our lives are lost We must stay here, but what a cost We can’t stay here longer or we’ll die We must flee now, time to say goodbye. The sky is dark now, the lightning’s flashing The wind is blowing, the trees are thrashing A man appears right here before us He’s white as snow, he won’t ignore us We can’t stay here longer or we’ll die We can’t see now, this is our goodbye. Angel I am here to move the stone You’re not alone, don’t lie there prone As he told you, he lives once more Forevermore, a life restored Guards We still are shaken, that he awakened Too much to witness, too much to take in Our lives are forfeit if we speak of it And to the truth we must not admit We can’t stay here longer or we’ll die We must find a tale we can stand by

Commentary
Music based on "You Can't Take It With You When You Die"

Based on Matthew 28:1-4

“After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.”
