Violinist

Violinist

Of all human evils
That happend in history
Bigger than Holocaust
It was not, and it will not be.

One Violinist was there
His life was violin string
He made the bloody nest there
Im telling you everything.

He had to wear the star
Because he was a Jew
That star was like a scar
For bloody nazi crew.

So he was the artist
Who reached the nazi camp
He was the one of the smartest
Anyway, he got a stamp.

At first, he had faith and hope
He fought as he knew and could
But slowly, he melted like soap
And totally surrendered.

The nazi butcher dug his eyes
Just because he looked at him
He felt like he dies
Nazi enjoyed his scream.

After that, he was like a shadow
He didnt look like a human being
He became dark, like a crow
He stoped to feel anything.

They called him once, to play,
The villains wanted it so
Their will was the only way
And only words that slaves know.

They found some old violin
And they gave it to him
Teached by their discipline
Inside that horrible brim.

He took it with his hads bony
His frail hands tremble
And in the depths of his agony
As human he resemble.

Violine on his chin fits
He plays, without eyes
From the empty eye pits
He almost feels like he cries.

Without his eyes, taken
It seems to him like he dreams
Old memories are awaken
Like he is out, it seems.

The butcher suddenly begin to sangs 
He smells his horrible breath
Like beast, with sharp and bloody fangs
He sings of blood and death

He cast a violin,
After the verses of blood
He couldnt listen that terrible sin
From mouth of evil dud.

He desired death, and death came
He doesn't want to beg for his head
Every day is awful and same
Without eyes, he feels dead.

The wicked man fired at him
Brutally, without shame
He fell into mud, by the violin
His blessed End came.

But than, a miracle happened,
The miracle happen to chosen one
He saw his last sunset, blind
And to the Heaven his soul gone.

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.

Jerusalem - First Part

Jerusalem

O Jerusalem, the eternal and the Holy City
Your free blue heavens covers You
Victorious flags fly over You
And Star of David shine above you

You're surrounded by the desert of gold dust.
Sometimes a music is heard in the streets
And sometimes a lion's roar

Through Your old streets walked the Holy
And today, fearless and proud warriors
Children of Your children
To which the saber rests in his hand
Never to attack, but always to defend
Every stone of the Jewish land.

Many martyrs came to you, tortured
They made their nests in you,
To rebirth their tortured soul
God invited them to the synagogues
Where rabbis remind and teach them
The ancient wisdom of glorious ancestors
Which are written in the oldest books.

Between Us

Between us

I’m waking up after a dream about you
Still, don’t know is it a dream or true
But now I know it was a dream
After my room is shined by a sunbeam.

And I’m still squeezing my pillow
But slowly from the bed, I’m getting billow
Imagine it is your soft body
But in my empty room, I see nobody.

Oh, I want your presence so bad
Without you, my soul feels sad
Your words are only I’m getting from you
I’m seeing your face in the skies of blue.

Will, I ever see your eyes for real
Like two shiny stars from heaven, I steal
I hear your voice, in your message
Without you, I feel like a wreckage.

There are mountains and oceans between us
So I can’t reach you in a few stations with bus
But one day I will board up on a ship
It will bring me to you over ocean deep.

The name od my happiness is Sarah
Which means princess and mia cara
You are everything that loves mean to me
When I look at you, there’s nothing else I see.

I’m living for a day I will hug You and kiss
Until that day that is only I miss
To smell your scent, to feel your skin
Lips on the lips and chin on the chin.

Until that day, I will send you my words
I will get your voice like a song of birds
And I will believe that once you’ll be mine
As now our souls and hearts are aligned.
