The tomb

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)

For those in the tomb today,
Who will roll the stone away?

A young man, dressed in white.
He's the one who has the might.

There'll be a shock.
Alarm rung out.

"Who opened the grave!
And let the slaves out."

"They are risen! They are not here."

The tomb is empty.

It's time to fear.
