|
| Let us remember reign of terror, reign of terror
|
| King who murdered pain forever, pain forever
|
| Who then? |
| antiochus, antiochus
|
| Antiochus, antiochus
|
| The blood he spilled, jerusalem, jerusalem
|
| So many killed, gone all of them, gone all of them
|
| Who then? |
| antiochus, antiochus
|
| Our hearts he broke, he burned the torah, burned the torah
|
| Ash and smoke, the crushed menorah, crushed menorah
|
| Who then? |
| antiochus, antiochus
|
| Arise our hero, judah save us, judah save us
|
| Prize so dear, the vict’ry gave us, freedom gave us
|
| Who then? |
| macabeus, macabeus
|
| Oh sing our songs and praise the torah, praise the torah
|
| Right the wrongs and light menorah, light menorah
|
| When then? |
| chanukah, chanukah |
