Razorigami - Star of David lyrics

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
