Pharaoh would not give us straw
As we felt the tightening noose
The taskmasters they beat us raw
But our work was not reduced Slaving in the hot sun
Trudging through the mud
Striving for their quotas
Bricks mixed with our blood See the Lord's outstretched arm
See the Pharaoh's hardened heart... Crying out to Moses
Let the Lord judge you
Pharaoh now he hates us
And all because of you Standing before the Pharaoh
Aaron casts the rod
See the serpent slither
By the power of God See the Lord's outstretched arm
See the Pharaoh's hardened heart
Sorcerers cast their rods
See the faithfulness of God Holy vengeance
Judgement from heaven coming down
Holy vengeance
Plague upon plague all around
(Blood, frogs, lice, flies, d**h, hail, thunder, fire, locusts, darkness, d**h of the firstborn son) Trapped beside the ocean
Israel filled with dread
The Lord He will fight for you
Hold your peace Moses said God then splits the ocean
They cross upon dry land
Egypt still pursues them
And the waters close again (Blood, frogs, lice, flies, d**h, hail, thunder, fire, locusts, darkness, d**h of the firstborn son)
Holy vengeance
The Lord he has triumphed gloriously
Holy vengeance
The horse and the rider thrown to the sea Shep holds up a picture
Poland 1936
"This is my holocaust" he says
My teeth they start to grit I count the family standing there
all the way to twelve
Only two would make it through
through that nazi hell And we say never again
How can we be so sure?
I got no faith in men Atrocity
It haunts my darkest dreams
Atrocity
I cringe to hear the screams
Atrocity
So take a final breath
Atrocity
This star's a mark for d**h A father with his children
"You oldest three, you try"
"We'll stay with the small ones,
'cause if they go they'll die" Pulling out the barbed wire
Eva Jumped the train
SS sitting on the roof
Shooting as she ran, oh no And we say never again
How can we be so sure?
I got no faith in men Atrocity
It haunts my darkest dreams
Atrocity
I cringe to hear the screams
Atrocity
So take a final breath
Atrocity
This star's a mark for d**h For Solomon, the sand mines
he worked more than a year
Twice daily sands to Birkenau
would cover ashes here The tattoo that they gave him
128232
The sum 18, in Hebrew "Life"
He lived to 92 And we say never again
How can we be so sure?
I got no faith in men
Anymore... Atrocity
It haunts my darkest dreams
Atrocity
I cringe to hear the screams
Atrocity
So take a final breath
Atrocity Egypt ma**ing troops on our border
Naval blockade to the south
Jordan attacks from the West bank
Emboldened by false word of mouth Judea, Samaria, reclaimed
After a fierce three day fight
Egypt's air force quickly crippled
Syria purged from the heights The scriptures they serve as a witness
Israel returned to their place
The God of our fathers was with us
The Almighty Ancient of Days Our hearts long for the latter days
And the house of the Lord
Established on the mountains
Exalted above the hills
Lord let the nations learn your ways
Let them walk in your paths
The law goes forth from Zion
And Your word from Jerusalem Swords into plowshares
Spears into pruning hooks
The nations are peaceful
They train for war no more And in that day
Says the Lord
I'll a**emble the lame
and gather the outcast The star of David shining bright
Our God is faithful to His word
Down through the ages
The Lord of Light
Bringing to pa** all that we've heard We turned away
Forgot our father's covenants
We lost our way
But found You faithful to the end The star of David shining bright
Our God is faithful to His word
Down through the ages
The Lord of Light
Bringing to pa** all that we've heard The star of David shining bright
Our God is faithful to His word
Down through the ages
The Lord of Light
Bringing to pa** all that we've heard
