The angel also said unto them,
you are witnesses
to a truth beyond anything
you have been taught to understand;
this has been shown to you
because no man will believe.
to a truth beyond anything
you have been taught to understand;
this has been shown to you
because no man will believe.
Someone must know the truth.
What to do with this knowledge,
I cannot guide you;
from the wrath of those who lack faith,
I cannot hide you.
Know that this is a blessing,
though it may seem a curse.

Your myrrh is not needed here
—only your faithful witness;
go in peace, to love and serve;
your Friend you will see again soon.

With a blinding flash of light,
the glowing angel was gone
—and they were alone in the tomb
with the cold, hard truth.
