Der Befehl des Koenig Herodes [English]
E Nomine · Other Songs - E Nomine
Blessed is he who comes in the name
of the Lord.
He who was born of the spirit
had a star appear
to the wisemen of the morning land,
and it shone above the Son of Man.
King Herod heard of this
and it frightened him and his entire kingdom.
From his rage he ordered that all
sons the age of two, and under,
were to be murdered.
Screams and crys were heard througout the land
and fearfullness was spoken of the Prophet,
for he was with them.
But those in Heaven
laughed at them and the Lord mocked them,
for the Son of Man would not be found.
The throne that has stood since the beginning of time,
is only worthy of the Son
from eternity, to eternity.
Fearfullness was spoken of the Prophet,
for he was with them.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of
the Lord.
He who was born of the Spirit,
had a star appear,
to the wisemen of the morning land,
and it shone above the Son of Man.
