To Herod's men
Bring me those men, the so-called sages
It's time for me to flip the pages
Gather intel, justification
Motives hidden, seeking negation

I can't be sitting, must do something
This fabled king is just a young thing
Can't be allowed to go on living
These men, their lies, are all misgiven

This star of mystery must be found
These men I need to be brought around
But don't reveal my sinister plan
Unwittingly they'll be middlemen


To the sages
So now I hear you seek the star child
I must admit it has me beguiled
In Bethlehem it is sink or swim
I must know now of the likes of him

When you find him, quickly back to me
For I am offering my decree
That I may fall down on bended knee
And worship him, the tiny baby
Commentary
Matthew 2: 7-8 - Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”
