                             Matthew 2:16

I thought that I heard crying
Coming through my door
Was it Rachel weeping for her sons who were no more
Could it have been the babies crying for themselves
Never understanding that they died for someone else

Chorus
A voice is heard of weeping and of wailing
History speaks of it on every page
Of innocent and helpless little babies
Offerings to the spirit of the age

No way of understanding this sad and painful sound
Whenever Satan rears his head
There comes a tragic time
If he could crush the cradle
Then that would stop the cross
He knew that once the Light was born
His every hope was lost

Chorus

Now every age has heard it
This voice that speaks from hell
Sacrifice your children
And for you it will be well
The subtle serpent's lying
His dark and ruthless rage
Behold, it is revealed to be the spirit of the age

Chorus

Soon all the ones who seemed to die for nothing
Will stand beside the Ancient of Days
With joy we'll see that Infant from the manger
Come and crush the spirit of the age
We'll see him crush the spirit of the age
