The Sinister Child

In those days of the Roman emperor
Issued a decree that a census should be taken of the world
Joseph was one of the labourers
With Mary he went to Bethlehem, the town of David
You have something heard
While they were there, a child was born
The mother wrapped him in some clothes
And placed him in a manger by the inn
While they were there, a child was born
The shepherds watched their flocks at night
The Lords appeared and they were terrified
While they were there a child was born
Don't be afraid, he's in the world, he's born to you
The sinister child
The shepherds straight went to Bethlehem
To find the place to glorify and serve the child
And many were with them
Three kings had heard of the mystery
They were overjoyed to find him there
The worshiped him and praised their destiny
And a star was shining bright
The tidings spread out through the land
That through his birth a new time will arise
And a star was shining bright
But the birth it was not undefiled
And the demons danced untamed, so free and wild
And a star was shining bright
Don't be afraid, he's in the world, he's born to you
The sinister child
And a star was shining bright
The shepherds watched their flocks at night
The Lords appeared and they were terrified
And a star was shining bright
But the birth it was not undefiled
And the demons danced untamed, so free and wild
And a star was shining bright
But the birth it was not undefiled
And the demons danced untamed, so free and wild
And a star was shining bright
Don't be afraid, he's in the world, he's born to you
The sinister child
