Born To Bleed (Rock Version)

Virgin bears, the flesh divine, a stable’s wretched throne
Angels howl, the shepherds run, a king to call their own
Herod shakes, the infants bleed, a slaughter’s ruthless toll
Prophecy, the child escapes, to claim the rebel soul

Born to bleed, the heavens roar
Son of man, the war restored

Wise men kneel, the gifts they bring, a sign of death to come
Fugitive, the savior grows, beneath a tyrant’s drum
Silent years, the storm brews near, a light to pierce the haze
Destiny, the cradle rocks, to set the world ablaze

Born to bleed, the heavens roar
Son of man, the war restored
