The Three Brothers, Masada
A time past the three brothers are gathered
Gathered around a fire the obvious leader..
Addresses them - the city of Masada fallen
All inhabitants have committed suicide...
They can see it happening in the holy fire
Which is now a huge flame.. Masada gone
The seer who is a leader leads them now
Into making the vow and steps into..
Then steps into the huge flames of fire
Hussein the younger brother steps into the fire
Chief the other sibling is tasked to go home
And explain to the people why the seers..
Have decided to step into the fire - beyond
Chief has a huge task henceforth leading..
Msa is very angry at Bob - I always told Hussein
To be wary of that fanatic... now see he's gone
Swearing vengeance at Bob the chief of seers
He leaves the village and disappeared..
Towards the coastal towns
A time future the betrayer gets his 30 cents of coins
They surround the teacher and the chief priest guard
Arrest the rabbi, it's a time of sorrow and tears
It's three in the afternoon the following day
And Rabbi gives his spirit, tremors and quakes
A time further into the future the prophet
Lies on his bed, Aisha please give out all
All my wealth for am going Aisha please
Aisha obeys and the prophet has no debts
He breaths his last his companion.. GABE?
Its contemporary time- Leki speaks to Moha
My brother I missed you where were you
Moha has a phone.. twas three days ago..
They had bid him farewell; yet he now lives
And that phone Moha is not yours.. GABE?
For the brothers decreed that day.. Massada
Masada shall never.. Masada shall never
Ever Ever fall again.. Masada forever
Shall never fall again - ACKMI
