Analysis of 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.
