Believe In Me
Gregorian - Master Of Chant Chapter VI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in
The first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
The song "Believe in Me" by Gregorian - Master Of Chant Chapter VI, is a reflection on the false promises and illusions that have been sold to us about Christmas. In the first verse, the lyrics express disappointment that despite the expectations of snow and peace being associated with the holiday season, it hasn't stopped raining and crying tears for the birth of Jesus Christ. The artist seems to be reflecting on how the idea of snow and peace on Earth may have been too idyllic, considering the harsh realities of the world we live in.
In the second verse, the lyrics describe childhood memories of Christmas morning, the distinct smell of the Christmas tree, and family traditions. The reality of Santa Claus and the commercialization of the holiday season is also touched upon, with the artist expressing that they were sold a dream of what Christmas could be. The lyrics also make reference to believing in the Israelite, suggesting a disillusionment with religious beliefs.
The final verse offers a hopeful message, wishing listeners a hopeful Christmas and a brave New Year, with a call to leave all the pain and sadness behind. The words, "The Christmas we get we deserve" implies that we create our own realities and thus, we should strive to make our Christmases as wonderful as we can.

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
It was prophesied that snow would accompany Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
It was foretold that Christmas would bring about world peace
But instead it just kept on raining
However, there was no snow, only incessant rain
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
The birth of Virgin Mary was clouded with sorrow and tears
I remember one Christmas morning
I recall a Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
There was a soft winter light and a far-off chorale
And the peal of a bell
Bells were ringing joyously
And that Christmas Tree smell
The smell of Christmas trees filled the air
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
People's eyes sparkled with tinsel and excitement
They sold me a dream of Christmas
I was sold an idealized vision of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
I was promised a calm and peaceful Christmas Eve
And they told me a fairy story
I was regaled with a fanciful tale
'Till I believed in the Israelite
Until I wholeheartedly believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
I had faith in the existence of Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
I gazed up at the sky, brimming with anticipation
'Till I woke with a yawn in
Until I woke up, unimpressed and disinterested
The first light of dawn
At the crack of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I caught a glimpse of him and saw through his costume
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I desire for you a Christmas filled with hope
I wish you a brave New Year
I hope you have a new year filled with courage
All anguish pain and sadness
May all despair, agony, and grief
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
Leave your heartache behind and forge ahead with clarity
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
Hallelujah, whether it be in heaven or hell, it is still Christmas
The Christmas we get we deserve
The type of Christmas we experience is a reflection of our actions and attitudes throughout the year

Where's the love we had?
When did it go bad?
Or am I just insecure?
I give all I can
See I'm your man
Tell me what you're in this for
Remind me
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me
Countless sleepless nights
Never ending fights
I'm trying to make your dreams come true
I will sacrifice to find paradise
But I need to know you're behind me
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me
To believe in me
To believe in me
To believe in me
