GrawdZilla - What of Bethlehem? Lyrics

I wander through the shadows, my kingdom of the lost
Yet something stirs the midnight, a sign I can't exhaust
The shepherds leave their hillside, the wise men take their myrrh
What interest lies in Bethlehem, what secret starts this stir
Oh, I hear thunder for Bethlehem, carried by the stars
A child who'll heal the broken, bring peace to wounded hearts
What light could rival darkness? What JOY could end the fight
But I feel it in my silence, I tremor in the night
I've seen the rise of empires, I've watched them burn and fall
But this is something different, a voice above it all
They say a child is born now, one not of earth and dust
What power that be waiting, that love
That comes from above
Oh, I hear jubilee for Bethlehem, shouted from the stars
A child who'll heal the broken, bring peace to wounded hearts
What light could rival darkness? What joy can end the fight
But I feel it in the silence, I tremor in the night
Could it be that my defeat awaits ever here for me
A crack in all my deceit , a chance for them to be set free
As fear coils like a serpent, cold iron in my veins
For if He brings salvation, then what of all my chains
So here I stand in shadow, with fear and envy bold
And watch Joy awaken to frankincense and gold
They call him Emmanuel, they say He's come to save
And as I gaze on Bethlehem, my fate begins to cave
Oh, I hear the cry in Bethlehem, carried to the stars
A child who'll heal the broken, bring peace to wounded hearts
What light could rival darkness? What joy can end the fight
But I feel it in the silence, a tremor in the night
I'll fade into the darkness, still bound by my own chains
But I'll remember Bethlehem, where hope and joy remains
For I was there in silence, where innocence had come
The Judge born to save them, and darkness left undone
