lyrics

Roman vassal kingdom, the lands of Judea ruled by Herod The Great

Achaemenid infiltration
Birth of a new King, foretold prophecy, destabilization was their ploy
First Persian Empire sent forth their Magi, deification they'd employ

The star of Bethlehem forecasts usurpation
Ahura Mazda's spies, seeking out a naive peasant
Come bearing gifts of riches and pleasures, monarchical treasures, for the boy
Preemptive measures, lessons and lectures, traveling westward, their convoy

In Bethleham
The priests found their boy, birthed to a known harlot of lowly stock
And prideless father descending from the bloodline of King David

Forged messiah
Abrahamic tale, the birth of a new King would fit their mold
A master of the frail, he was their pawn bought with gold

The Magi's shill

Nazarene, the lord of the meek, undermining the Herodian keep
Born of lies, rebellion prone, the malcontent began subverting the throne
Roman rule also at risk, his disciples were attached at the hip
Chaos, vandalism, treasonous rule, by Zoroastrian tool

Psalms of misery, vilifying dignity
The bastard Son of God, the fraud from Galilee

Sworn so long ago, to lay waste and to fallow
the lands of David for his lords, The Wise Magi

His seed takes hold
Pharisees take note, they must stamp out this vile sorcerer
Justice must be served by Roman law, for Judea, Crucified was Christ

But too little too late, his ministry took hold, the messiah martyr
The Wise Men's curse outlasting death

Sabotage, treason, warping of reason, forfeit of seizin plagued the land
Provocateur's Achaemenid stain infected his flock from there hence forth
