Skull Hill
Follow me to hill of skulls
By criminals of two
Divided garbs to shares of four
The robes bestowed to you
The end of times upon me
A prophesy foretold
I bow my head in silence
with a weight of thorns behold
I return now to my father
Your sin my burden new
The light that broke the darkness
Will last forever in you
Skull Hill - The history
Discovered by British General Gordon on a visit to Jerusalem in 1883, Skull Hill is the hill that led Gordon to a tomb believed to be that of Jesus. Scripture relates how Jesus was crucified at Golgotha ("the place of the skull"). This hill depicts a skull-shape only a hundred meters from the site of the tomb located outside the Old City walls. It's considered by many to be a legitimate location for the Tomb of Jesus, as burial places were considered illegal within the city walls.
