Silent Before the Shearers
by True Strength

Album: Sanguinary Vivification

After His arrest He was taken by night to the priest
A joke of a trial, He was sentenced to death
Hauled in by chains by soldiers who then mocked the Christ
They beat and flayed Him and crowned Him with thorns
Pontius Pilate could not find in Him one single crime
That would be deserving of a death on the Cross
The fact that Jesus was from Nazareth in Galilee
Pilate sent Him to King Herod to be judged

"Prophesy!" they taunt Him, with their fists they beat Him, blindfolded He was led away
They strike the Savior, God's chosen Messiah and then they crowned Him with thorns

Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
And He did so in the face of their lies
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
There'll be no miracles seen by their eyes
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
And He did so in the face of their lies
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
There'll be no miracles seen by their eyes

At Herod's Palace where Jesus was now standing trial
In the Upper City, in sight of Skull Hill
Hauled in by chains by guards who mocked Jesus Christ
Chief priests and teachers accused Him with lies
When he saw Jesus, King Herod was greatly pleased
For long he sought to see a miracle performed
He plied with as many questions as he desired to ask
Herod mocked Jesus when no answers were said

In a robe they clothed him, ridiculed and mocked him, to Pontius Pilate they sent Him away
They mock the Savior, God's only son, Herod and Pilate now friends

Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
And He did so in the face of their lies
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
There'll be no miracles seen by their eyes
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
And He did so in the face of their lies
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
There'll be no miracles seen by their eyes

Christ was returned to site of the Praetorium
The wife of Pilate warned him to abstain
Pilate called the people, the rulers and the priests
And said to them "You brought me this man
I have examined him and found no grounds for your charge
Neither has Herod who sent him back to me
So I will punish him and release him back to the world-
For he's done nothing, that's deserving of death."

But the whole crowd shouted, to release Barabbas, and they called him to send Jesus away.
They showed no mercy, Israel's Savior, they just call for His death

Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
And He did so in the face of their lies
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
There'll be no miracles seen by their eyes
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
And He did so in the face of their lies
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
There'll be no miracles seen by their eyes
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
And He did so in the face of their lies
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
There'll be no miracles seen by their eyes
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
And He did so in the face of their lies
Silent before the Shears He remained in His chains
There'll be no miracles seen by their eyes
