This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
All On A Wintry Night
A bright star was shining down
Upon the little town of Bethlehem
The shepherds in their fields
Were amazed at the sound
Of angels singing in Jerusalem
The wise men made their way
Every traveling night and day
With myrrh and frankincense and gifts of gold
While Mary, meek and mild
Labored with her first born child
And Joseph sheltered with her from the cold
The angels and the animals
Were kneeling to His glory
To praise the Son of God
Come once upon a time
The promised Prince of Peace
The babe in swaddling clothes
In his mothers arms did sleep
Embraced within a lullaby of light
The angels sang on high
The song of heaven bright
Redemption came upon that blessed night
The trembling voice of shepherd
The harp that played a melody
And Joseph knew among the straw
The glory of divinity
The promised prince of peace
So let us sing his praise
The baby King of light
And make a place within our manger stall
His promise is renewed
Upon this Christmas night For you, for me, for shepherd King and all
The glory of this humble verse
Relieves us of our poverty
And we are rich in blessing
For He was born for you and me
The promised Prince of Peace
A bright star was shining down
Upon the little town of Bethlehem
The shepherds in their fields
Were amazed at the sound
Of angels singing in Jerusalem
The wise men made their way
Every traveling night and day
With myrrh and frankincense and gifts of gold
While Mary, meek and mild
Labored with her first born child
And Joseph sheltered with her from the cold
The angels and the animals
Were kneeling to His glory
To praise the Son of God
Come once upon a time
The promised Prince of Peace
The babe in swaddling clothes
In his mothers arms did sleep
Embraced within a lullaby of light
The angels sang on high
The song of heaven bright
Redemption came upon that blessed night
The trembling voice of shepherd
The harp that played a melody
And Joseph knew among the straw
The glory of divinity
The promised prince of peace
So let us sing his praise
The baby King of light
And make a place within our manger stall
His promise is renewed
Upon this Christmas night For you, for me, for shepherd King and all
The glory of this humble verse
Relieves us of our poverty
And we are rich in blessing
For He was born for you and me
The promised Prince of Peace
