Jerusalem - Second Part
Damned hatred surrounds you
Through bloody acts and words of evil
When your closest neighbor wants to destroy You
Then You don't have deserved peace and freedom
Murderers don't let you sleep peacefully
Because their hatred is boundless.
You are the Saint and Martyr city
Because they were torturing you from the primal
They killed and chased your children
You are the heart of Israel, and of all Jews
Wherever they live, you are in their chests.
Will You ever see the dawn without war
If You stop fighting - they will kill you
If You give them your hand - they will cut it off
If you speak about peace - they will spit on You
Because the beasts don't know otherwise.
You don't stop praying, from the beginning
You urge everyone to stand by Western Wall
And they pray, even for the enemies,
Who do not know humanity and divinity
They accept Death for their God,
They accept Madness for their lives.
They cast their lives, just to harm you
Because they don't know any other way
Satanic priests soaked their souls with blood
But Your knights are blessed by God
Now, and always have been
They went to every battle with His blessing
On those battlefields, miracles happened,
Because they are His children, full of faith
They followed His way, with His hand guided.
When Your children come to you
From every side of the Earth
They find in You the truth, light, and salvation
Flooding the streets with tears of happiness
Many are, unworthy, back to the Wall
But He accept their sincere prayers
The Wall remains, eternal and soaked with tears.
Like a lion that protects his young with a roar
Thus saith the Lord from heaven: "I'll keep Jerusalem!"
With His help, Jerusalem remains strong
It still stands firm in faith
It continuous to sing and pray for Him
Through Israel, who stands with God
Anyone who loves Him is His lamb
No matter what kind of love God has for me
In His grace, the children are equal to Him.
