One Stroke down
One Stroke across
The branding of Christ's cross

Stroke comes down
-Remeber man that you
Are dust-
The ashes crumble to the floor
The blood drops to the ground
Take this pain, I give to you
My anguish and suffering
My offering unto you
Feel the lashings of the whip
The thornes placed upon your crown
Absorb the pain of giving in
In to the mortality of human sin

-Remember man that you
Are dust and unto dust-
The stroke goes across
The ashes crumble to the floor
The blood drops to the ground
The palms burned to annoint the head
Pain and suffering unmade, now is dead
Agony comes to healing
Nulifying the hurt
The Messiah's death, a coming of life,
Heralding eternal birth

-Remember man that you
Are dust and unto dust
You shall-
The last ashes fall to the ground
The blood can give no more
Peace and Healing come to be
As the words are spoken as a creed
The promise of God's forgiveness
Concencrated in His blood
His sacrifice brings fire to the world
Creating new ashes from our souls

-Remember man that you
Are dust and unto dust
You shall return-
One Stroke down
One Stroke across
The branding of Christ's cross
