Lyrics
Come here, look!
(Sung)
Since we spoke to shore
Traffic along this road has moved outside our horizon
And have you seen a single plane?
For the last hour the corridor has been empty
But an hour ago the mist burnt away
And the whole sky is vacant, see?
God have mercy on those who guard the synagogue
Who carry His secrets in their hearts unopened
Till they, like the Lassadim, can travel two days without a juice
None of you knows what the letter contained
If the letter is opened when the determined action takes place
Or what the action is
Not even I know fully what we are to do
And though we have power
I think more and more of all the blood loss
We have Tartas, but in Cyprus and Cyprus and those elsewhere
Who gave the orders
When this is read, let it be destroyed
How much more blood is needed to hold?
We had killed no one, but soon we will provide
Then Syria will show her hand
Every sound that you can hear is a passenger afraid for his life
The sea is stiff with men who died unafraid
There's nothing, no reply
Tartas is not replying
I propose we move out towards the open sea
A kilometre or so outside the territorial waters
Now we will kill you all
