Born to Die

Who is this man, they wag their heads.
They jeer him on, in his march of dread.
He is the one, who was born to die.
Someone shouted, from a plain on high.

The crowds have gathered, on a hill far away.
Poking and laughing, as he stumbles along the way.
Who is this man, who was born to die?
A lowly Nazarene, a carpenter did cry.

Isn’t he the one, who healed the sick?
Didn’t he cast out demons, from a lunatic?
This is the man, who was born to die.
A soldier brandished his sword, and rose it up high.

Steel on steel, echoed throughout the hill.
Not a word was uttered, from the one impaled.
Here is the man, who was born to die.
The people shouted, it is a lie.

The sky grew dark, and thunder was heard.
The man cried out, and uttered three words.
It is finished, they heard him say.

Born to die, had paved the way.
