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.

It was difficult to be reminded of the unimaginable evil Jerusalem has been through. We can only hope our prayers will be answered eventually - the sooner the better.
