Never Again -

Regarding the birth of the nation of Israel

Lyrics

Terror is the ever-scorching sun

In the fight for our existence

Uprooted

Cast aside as kindling

Scattered ‘cross the nations

Sprouted forth

From the crags

Our seed

A diaspora

Replanted in the land we lost

Nearly vacant, but trod upon by swine

We’ll sink our roots deep in this earth

A breast flowing rich with honey

There’s no view from nowhere

And from the heights of Zion I can see

Thorns

In my side

Parasitic weeds

You infectious disease

We’ll be the salt of the earth

Terror homegrown will wilt and see

We’ve tilled this desert sand before

Our claimed inheritance

Our eternal home

There’s no view from nowhere

And from the heights of Zion I can see

The depths I’ll go to find refuge

We’ve been pruned for greatness

The nagging guilt you sow will be blotted out

By the shade of our olive trees

We’ll water this land with blood if it means we reap a future

If only to see our children bloom

I refuse to wither

Never again trod on

Never again uprooted

Never again trod on

Never again a victim
