Bethlehem (Arabic:بيت لحمBayt Laḥm; "House of Meat", Bēt Laḥm; Hebrew: בֵּית לֶחֶםBēṯ Leḥem, Modern: Bet Leḥem[bet ˈleχem], lit. "House of Bread"; Ancient Greek: Βηθλεέμ[bɛːtʰle.ém]; Latin:Bethleem) is a Palestinian city located in the central West Bank, Palestine, about 10 kilometers south of Jerusalem. Its population is approximately 25,000 people. It is the capital of the Bethlehem Governorate. The economy is primarily tourist-driven.
The earliest known mention of the city was in the Amarna correspondence of 1350-1330 BCE during its habitation by the Canaanites. The Hebrew Bible, which says that the city of Bethlehem was built by Rehoboam, identifies it as the city David was from and where he was crowned as the king of Israel. The New Testament identifies Bethlehem as the birthplace of Jesus. Bethlehem was destroyed by the Emperor Hadrian during the second-century Bar Kokhba revolt; its rebuilding was promoted by Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, who commissioned the building of its great Church of the Nativity in 327 CE. The church was badly damaged by the Samaritans, who sacked it during a revolt in 529, but was rebuilt a century later by Emperor Justinian I.
Bethlehem is the eighth studio album by garage rock band The Original Sins, released in 1996 through Bar/None Records. The album shows a change in tone for the band, focusing much more on pop music and psychedelic rock than the energetic garage punk fury from previous releases. The album has been is considered as the band's best, with some describing it as "the band's greatest achievement" and a "great leap-forward".

Lyrics:
Produced from the maelstrom of neglection
my nocturnal prayer died away
in the unreality of a never ending happiness
"My prayer...?"
"Died away in eternity!"
If there's live before death
it's not for me
who spreads his dark cold pinion
over the eternal silence
of a gnawed frosty winter landscape
"My prayer...?"
"Died away in eternity!"
The answer of the mystery

which built on rusty pillars

Track 1 from Alles Tot EP by German Black/Dark Metal Bethlehem
LYRICS:
Tod macht Fliegen aus uns allen, gibt uns Flügel wo einst erstickte Gräber eisige Unschuld gebaren. Sanft wie Dornen einer welken Besessenheit, gepaart mit Habichtkrallen, ächten wir den König und wo einst schwarz war ist nun grau. Mitunter gehorchen unsere Schultern nicht mehr die Last zu tragen. Welche am Fuße abgeschnitten und am Kopfe geschoren, liebkosender Dunkelheit eines durchtriebenen Freispiels gereichen. Ein überfreundlicher Gast, unangemeldet in grausige Blässe gebracht, scheint als Sekunde, wenn leichenblass Tod erscheint erregend und verlangt nach unserem geweihten Inzest.

Lyrics:
Produced from the maelstrom of neglection
my nocturnal prayer died away
in the unreality of a never ending happiness
"My prayer...?"
"Died away in eternity!"
If there's live before death
it's not for me
who spreads his dark cold pinion
over the eternal silence
of a gnawed frosty winter landscape
"My prayer...?"
"Died away in eternity!"
The answer of the mystery
which is put into my hands
is the unholy property of a
longest forgotten insufficiency
which built on rusty pillars
indulges in senseuality to the
morbid repulsiveness of ruin
"and what moves there in the shadow?"
"It's your image!"
"Who calls there in the mirror?"
"It's your comprehension!"
Unrestlessness whispering appearences
shatter the frail ear
which escapes with the folly
of an unconcerned remonstration
up through black dirt into the light
