Story Behind the Song
The slaughter by Herod in Bethlehem
During Christ's first years.
Lyrics
White skies overshadowed,
Mourning with no Son,
Rachel in the Black Dress,
Weeping for her young.
Rachel's Tears, over blood,
All her children dead,
Rachel's tears, over blood...
War waged upon innocence,
Injustice rules the day,
Bodies ashed in the dust of death,
The sword sits back and laughs.
From clouds of destruction,
The Son bears down,
On wings of angels,
The Joy of Hope descends.
Out of the desert,
An arrow flies,
Pursuing the world,
The truth pierces her lie.
The rainbow has faded,
Corruption spills into the street.
