Iced Earth
Behold the Wicked Child
[Verse 1]
Rise up with fervid zeal
Salvation's at hand
Forged in flames as stars collide
Recite the sacred rites
Evoke the astral beast
Black magic, astrology

[Children Spoken Bridge]
"I see what I come to be
On symbol that come up my mythology
Arise that sinner who says my name
Oh symbol, symbol that come to me"

[Verse 2]
In sacred flames it congregates
The ancient rage and priest
Fusing the fetus and beast
The Setian redeemer
Man's blood must infect
The weapon, the grand architect

[Chorus]
Behold the wicked, the child is born
Coalesced of a celestial beast
Divine equation, the prophecy
Rejoice in the birth, born is he
[Interlude]
Mah'mah hah-hah-ha-aaaaaaah
Hah-hah yah-yah hah-hah

[Verse 3]
Disciples and minions
Spread word, born is he
Thrust Hell upon humanity
Baptize the wicked child
The math upon his crown
On this date we consecrate

[Chorus]
Behold the wicked, the child is born
Coalesced of a celestial beast
Divine equation, the prophecy
Rejoice in the birth, born is he

[Post-Chorus]
Dies, Natalis, Odisse, Mortalis
(Convocare, Caelestis)
Dies, Natalis, Odisse, Mortalis
(Bestia, Excidium)
Dies

[Interlude]
Oh-ho, ho-oh-ho-oh-oh-oh
Ho-oh-ho-oh-oh-ooooh
[Chorus]
Behold the wicked, the child is born
Coalesced of a celestial beast
Divine equation, the prophecy
Rejoice in the birth, born is he
Embrace the power of this sixth hour
On the sixth day of the sixth month
Behold the child, our path to light
We'll guide him with undying love
