All Is One

We're the orphans from the holy land, the tears of Jerusalem And in darkness we have prayed and swore to rise up once again We are the sons of the blazing sun Sharing our faith through the barrel of a gun Walk on holy water yet we burn Brothers of the orient stand as one An ancient promise in an orphaned land A clenched fist becomes an open hand Armed forces spill their blood on holy sands Again and again we fail to see that all is one Words like venom through our veins they run Weaving a web of deception hope is gone Shall we re-live the pain of wars before? Or shall we be the light, the new folklore? Evil falls on each of us, there's nothing new Who cares if you're a Muslim or a Jew The awakened ones are nothing but a few And the one to make the difference now is you From the Middle Eastern lands we ride, all children of Abraham Our only sword, the light within, that burns as bright as sun Wer're the orphans from the Holy Land, the keepers of Or-Shalem So we bow to you our warriors for being simple men

Vanitas vanitatum (Everything is meaningless - Ecclesiastes 1, 1) I was born to pave the way To let the masses hear, listen to my say They'll follow through the darkest nights As to a shepherd with second sight But I'm a simple man I follow God's own plan Only a few coins in my hands I live alone The only life I've known I do not need nor want this throne, on no... Upon this stage these words I sing Peace to all men is the dream I wish to bring, yeah... So do as I do not as I say Out of this ocean land I cannot lead the way For I'm a simple man I follow God's own plan I dance while raising high both hands I'll preach tonight These few words of light But I swear I'm not Jesus Christ Minor sum cunctis miserationibus quam explesti servo tuo (I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant - Genesis 32,10)

This story began before I was born A childless woman cried sadly at home Her maid gave birth to a child of her own My father felt joy yet he was torn A conflict began one day at dawn The maid took your hand and you were gone To the desert you left, towards the unknown I reckon you were so alone God will hear you oh, my blood For the years you roamed in dirt and mud Forsaken like a nomad, deserted in the flood Forgive me, brother You did nothing wrong and took all the shame I suffered myself, yet I am to blame The lord blessed us both, but we still fight and claim That kid on the mountain, - what was his name? Brother hear my plea tonight I grew tired from these endless years of (Our) fight From a tiny corner stone we may build our realm of light Please hear me, brother

As two kids who always spent Their time and played with toy guns in their hands There you stood in front of me They taught me that you're my enemy And when our eyes have met We both set sails to death With guns of grown up men I fear it might be my last breath Eye to eye Our aim is blinded by the sun Seeking higher ground To a safe haven I now run The night had fell on no man's land This flute was heard from out there in the dark I knew the words and joined in song This nightly truce a miracle of hope We raise our hands and walk Upright to move towards each other No guns, no death between The enemies now turned to brothers Together on this barren earth I tell him of my son No pawns or deadly toys The morning comes, and we are done We head to base and end the truce That lasted through this war of liars A vision of a better life Where music drowns the toy gun's fire Next night I see a shadow and We both shoot in the name of god As we fell down our eyes have met Our friendship ends now in this turmoil of blood

על אף השקר, המוות וקושי הסליחה באש ובמים, אלך איתך [English translation: Despite of the lie, the death and the woes of forgiveness Through fire and water I shall walk with thee] בנפול אויבך אל תשמח (משלי כ"ד י"ז) [English translation: Do not gloat when your enemy falls] למרות הדם, החושך והמלחמה, באש ובמים אלך אתך [English translation: Despite of the blood, the dark and the war Through fire and water I shall walk with thee]

No surprise this morning, as usual I woke up again to a world that kills itself repetitively with no shame or fear. The papers were telling me as always in burning red colors that it's everywhere I'll go. An eternal loop of slavery, murder, rape, corruption and wars. Same old story in colored versions of death, death, death. As if we are doomed, sucked and being smoked from far beyond by a dead star, a black hole, an endless appetite that swallows our light and wants nothing but more & more & more. Yes I am too the fuel that feeds this machine, this vast engine of destruction that takes our lives, our souls and our freedom. And what other choices do I have in a society that educates me to be stupid. I am brainwashed like a sheep, so that every liar with a sip of charisma can easily turn himself into my "shepherd". So, here I am, sitting like a fairy princess, waiting for her Messiah while happiness is everywhere except here and now. And we all keep on hanging onto our hopes, while the storm still rages inside. Slippery tongues fork from my screen Spewing such lies in the name of the green They play the game of thrones till one wins A rule of one liar ends and another beings So why do we fail to see And why in this jail are we Living our life with the threat of fire We’re losing again all to this mire Money tied with power, war and bloodlust They’ll spend our money until none of it lasts They will send our sons to war to die for a god That they use as a coin to barter for blood “Yes sir, no sir” – can I go home now? Your thirst for blood has lost me somehow I was young when they took me; I am a young man no more As they used me and threw me like the army’s last whore A children’s crusade – we are brothers in arms A multitude of fools like a rain of falling stars We walk the road to war while they smoke their cigars Like a serpent forever feed on its tail This cycle of death goes on forever gain, and again… and again…

וכשנדליק את השמיים מי לאש ומי למים אל כיוון שאין לו סוף אל ים גדול שאין בו חוף והמבול שעוד יגיע בלי נביא שיודיע ואין תיבה כאן בעולם לשמור חיים פה לכולם האם זאת דרך אלוהים או סתם תעמולה להמונים שמתחילה כל פעולה תמיד בדרך השלילה בגלל כתות ואדמה ארץ יתומה aquae diluvii inundaverunt super terram (the waters of the flood were upon the earth) Genesis 7, 10 והפסלים בהם בחרנו האמונה שאיבדנו ומה היא דרך האמת כשהמצפון מזמן כבר מת ואל תגידו לא ידענו לא ראינו לא שמענו זה יגמר בלחיצה כשהעולם יחזור להיות ביצה האם זאת דרך אלוהים או אגדות או סיפורים שמתחילים כל פעולה תמיד בדרך השלילה בגלל כתות ואדמה ארץ יתומה כי נדלקו כבר השמיים מי לאש ומי למים אל כיוון שאין לו סוף אל ים גדול שאין בו חוף [English translation:] And when the skylight will ignite Whom to fire whom to water To a path forevermore To a great sea that hath no shore And the flood will surely come Out of nothing will arrive And no ark upon this world That all life here will now hold And is it not the path of god Or just a doctrine for the masses That starts with every action Forever a negative reaction Because of cults and dry sands Orphaned Land The idols that we chose The faith we have lost What path now is true When conscience is long through Do not say you didn't know Didn't see and have not heard It will end with a push And the world will be a seed again Is this the path of god Or stories told of fables That starts with every action Forever a negative reaction Because of cults and dry lands Orphaned Land For the sky's already lit Whom to fire whom to water To a path forever more To a great sea that hath no shore

The cycle that never ends It begins and starts again Trapped like mice inside a maze And bereft of our own grace We pray and bend our feet We will not admit defeat To a god we put our fate And to the ones that sell deceit We never doubt their words Forever gripping our swords We conform and we bend down Nail the thorns into the crown We believed in your glory and might That you shall take us to your side We reached out to heaven The three sons of seven But we found no messiah or guide Why do we hold on to these prayers? All these years and nothing has been changed And i am just another tool in this game And i have never put any doubt in your name Not even when they took it all Left me here alone to fall I kept on screaming, "Where have you gone?" אבנו מלכנו (Avinu Malkeinu - Our father Our King) חננו ועננו (Chaneinu VaAneinu - Forgive us and impart upon us) Perhaps you left us to live without you To learn to fly on our own Why do we hold to these beliefs? That our god is here for all our needs Can't we see that all we are is one? We are the messiah, we need my son

I’m alone in here All I know is gone And I don’t want to die What will be of me tomorrow? Am I meant to be another orphaned child? Another victim full of sorrow? How can we live with this horror that we bring to this world? What is it that blinds us to the error of our ways? Nothing’s left in here, in this empty room Where once I lived my life Mother, why have you deserted me? Father, why must we all struggle to survive? And must I grow to be like you? How can we live in this world where lives are bought and sold?

I gazed into your eyes as the train left And never wrote one single time Deep in my heart I remember And cry, as faces pass me by Drowned in the loss of the city From out of the ashes came hope I lived in an old dirty building Just like the one that no one knows Small room yet here I found shelter And these walls are a place I call home Mournful my mornings forever As I stare at the ocean alone From high above... for a sign out in the cold And I'll fly, as a dove As I stare at the ocean alone Misty December, the 50's I shiver from the wind that blows Snow on my roof seems so empty So white, yet I remember all... Forever my wounds to be open Oh how I wish you were by my side I'll play and we'll sing this together These words that letters can't describe Here you'll find shelter and safety Through the storm, a heaven will rise Children will sing and makes me feel Embraced by the Mediterranean Sea From high above... for a sign out in the cold And I'll fly, as a dove As I stare at the ocean alone
