Bethlehem Songtext
von Strangelove

We all bear our crosses
The marks of right and wrong
Our stupid little victories
That keep us carried on
Yeah, we all bear our contributions
To the suffering of man
But don′t we all like to place the blame
On someone else's hands

It′s been written down in history books
It's been written down in song
In a hundred million wasted lives
That stretched the centuries long
But still no one was listening
So you sent your only son
As a sacrifice to a message
And you called the message love


And the message it screams out to us
Down through two thousand years
Two thousand years of suffering
And still nobody hears

And the blind man and the idiot
Are the ones who wear the crown
And the stories that they offer us
Are the fear we've carried down
And the cruel man who pulled the strings
Is the one we did reward
And the message is forgotten
Did you die in vain my Lord?

I give myself to you
I give myself to you
I offer up myself to you
Till the pain shines through
No human hand will ever do
No human hand will ever do
No human hand will ever do


We all got our lessons
To learn before we′re dead
We can choose to see the pain through
Or we can run away instead
We can choose to move towards you
Or we can move into ourselves

And the choices that we′re offered
Are the freedom of our head
And I want to live in goodness
And I want to try to learn
And I want to seek the truth now
Yeah, I don't want to run
I want to try to love these others
I want to try to love myself
You know without you I was nothing

Lord, without you I was dead
Oh, without you I was dead

I give myself to you
I give myself to you
I offer up myself to you
Till the pain shines through
No human hand will ever do
No human hand will ever do
No human hand will ever do

And the measure you give
Will be the measure you get
It′s just like you said
That the measure you give
Will be the measure you get

We live one life
One life to each remember
The dust that you once came from
Is the dust you will return to again

We live one life
One life to each remember
The dust that you once came from
Is the dust you will return to again
Is the dust you will return to again
Is the dust you will return to again
Is the dust you will return to again
