[Introduction]: Rumors spread concerning John's actions and growing influence on the other side of the Jordan, arousing the anxiety of the authorities. • [Verse 1] Letters bring news from down below, / Tales of crowds following where he goes. His name is whispered in royal halls, / Fearing the storm and the coming falls. John still baptizes, ignoring threats' trace, / While doubt takes root and sets fire to the place. • [Chorus] News is flying across the hills, / Bearing the echo of divine thrills. No one can stifle the flame as it grows, / As long as the world and true justice close. • [Verse 2] His disciples multiply, true to the word, / Carrying messages down through the ages heard. Every boat crossing the rushing stream, / Brings back his strength to the fearless dream. The Pharisees watch with a haughty tongue, / Dreading the impact of this new fire sprung. • [Verse 3] Time is running out for the prophet unbound, / For tyranny watches where truth is found. But what matter the storm and the shadows cast, / John walks his path, true unto the last. The news spreads out like a trail of fire, / Beneath the grave gaze of the heavenly choir. • [Chorus] News is flying across the hills, / Bearing the echo of divine thrills. No one can stifle the flame as it grows, / As long as the world and true justice close. • [Outro] The message breaches the fortress walls... / And history writes itself as silence falls...
