To Save their Skins
On the ash-heap of history strewn
towers and pyramids ruined
Of civilizations long since extinct
alive only in pottery and sphinx
They once fought the Jews tooth and nail
striving hard, but to no avail
To eliminate Israel once and for all
each campaign’s end a precipitous fall …
Today again, ring out chants of ‘Death to the Jews’
but the People of Israel steadfastly refuse
To lay down their swords to hatred, to simply cave in
~ Instead, the Jews fight back to save their skins
