Skull Mountain

Monte Caveira

The day begins, on Friday morningComeça o dia, na manhã de sexta-feira
Jesus carries the cross, towards Skull MountainJesus vai levando a cruz, em direção ao Caveira
The crowd, curiously followedA multidão, curiosa acompanhava
Many people mocked, few women criedMuita gente escarnecia, poucas mulheres choravam
When they arrived, at the appointed placeQuando chegaram, ao lugar determinado
They crucified Jesus, and a thief on each sideCrucificaram Jesus, e um ladrão de cada lado
Nailed to the cross, speaks the Prince of PeaceNa cruz pregado, fala o Príncipe da Paz
Father forgive the crowd, they do not know what they doPai perdoa a multidão, ela não sabe o que faz

Like a lamb, he did not open his mouthComo um cordeiro não abriu a sua boca
Even with a hoarse voice, he interceded for manMesmo tendo a voz tão rouca, pelo homem intercedeu
And there on the cross, my Jesus was hungE lá na cruz, meu Jesus foi pendurado
To take away my sinsPra tirar os meus pecados
Oh how Jesus suffered!Oh como Jesus sofreu!

Everyone mocked, the soldiers jeeredTodos zombavam, os soldados escarneciam
They offered vinegar, to see if Jesus would drinkOfereceram vinagre, pra ver se Jesus bebia
They mistreated him, with words and blowsLhe maltratavam, com palavras e pancadas
Yet Jesus loved, and interceded for manMesmo assim Jesus amava, e pelo homem intercedia
One of the thieves, blasphemed in angerUm dos ladrões, blasfemava enfurecido
But the thief on the right, was already repentantMas o ladrão da direita, já estava arrependido
He said: Jesus, remember me, I needDisse: Jesus, lembra de mim, eu preciso
Jesus said: Today you will be in paradiseJesus disse: Hoje mesmo estarás no paraíso

At the sixth hour, the whole Earth trembledÀ hora sexta, toda Terra estremeceu
At this hour the Sun did not give its radiant lightNesta hora o Sol não deu, sua refulgente luz
The temple veil, from top to bottom toreO véu do templo, de alto a baixo se rasgou
The whole Earth showed its respect for JesusToda Terra demonstrou seu respeito por Jesus
They took Jesus' body and buried itPegaram o corpo de Jesus e sepultaram
Guards were placed there, to watch over the LordGuardas ali colocaram, pra pastorar o Senhor
When they thought, to have a defeated ChristQuando pensavam, ter um Cristo derrotado
On Sunday they found out that Jesus had risenNo domingo constataram que Jesus ressuscitou
