Silent Court

[Intro]
Silent court, the shadows fall
Whispers echo through the hall
Questions fly, but answers hide
In the silence, truths collide

[Verse 1]
Herod's eyes, a hopeful gaze
Longing for a miracle's blaze
Asked of Jesus, questions pour
But His lips stay silent, no more

[Pre-Chorus]
Mocking voices, loud and clear
Ridicule cast, driven by fear
Clothing royal, a bitter disguise
Sending Jesus, no compromise

[Chorus]
In the silence, shadows dance
Truth and lies in a fleeting glance
Turned enemies, now friends in time
In the darkness, a strange design

[Verse 2]
Pilate stands with heavy heart
Seeking justice, torn apart
Accusations fill the air
Seeking truth in wrongful glare

[Pre-Chorus]
Voices rise, a heated fight
Shouting loud into the night
But beneath the chaos, quiet plea
A silent hope for what will be

[Chorus]
In the silence, shadows dance
Truth and lies in a fleeting glance
Turned enemies, now friends in time
In the darkness, a strange design

[Bridge]
Are we blind to what is real?
Lost in pride, we cannot feel
The silent voice that calls for peace
A hopeful heart will find release

[Outro]
Silent court, the shadows fade
Truth remains, the price is paid
In the silence, we can see
A world in need of mercy’s plea

Historical gospel with somber mood, orchestral and choir, reflective and dramatic
