Self Existent lyrics (Becoming the Archetype – Dichotomy)

Looking for Self Existent lyrics from Becoming the Archetype’s Dichotomy album? Below I will list my lyrics for the song (which is also called “The Tomb” as printed in the CD booklet).

I’ll also include a video of the actual song so you can sample it for yourself at the end.

Self Existent is arguably the most powerful song on the album. I love it because it is a song that directly speaks about Jesus Christ without there being any mis-interpretation as to the true meaning of the song because it is clear who the focus of the song is. Not only does the song STILL give me chills, but I love it because it also gives a very unique perspective on what it must have been like to witness the Resurrection first-hand. In my person opinion, this is quite simply one of the greatest Christian songs ever made.

Self Existent Lyrics

Into the darkened tomb . . .
I walked but only found it empty . . . .

MY MIND is tormented
MY SOUL is shaken

As a flame is tormented by the wind and rain
As the earth is shaken BY AN EARTHQUAKE

MY HEART
Has accepted
What MY EYES
Could never have believed

I WATCHED HIM DIE
I . . . WATCHED HIM DIE
I WATCHED HIM DIE!
I . . . WATCHED HIM DIE!

In the silence death is defeated
In my spirit THE BATTLE RAGES ON

And then I stepped into the light
I heard His voice
I SAW HIS FACE

AND THEN HE STOOD THERE BEFORE ME
A man buried . . .
BUT NEVER DEAD!

MY HEART
Has accepted
What MY EYES
Could never have believed

I SAW HIM RISE
I . . . SAW HIM RISE!
I SAW HIM RISE
I SAW HIM RISE!
