Orphan |
| Respective perspectives worshiping directives |
| Blindly killing for our dogma until our sons meet in the garden |
| Torches scald the night sky |
| The youth rise up and set their elders to the gallows |
| Fire in the lighthouse |
| All our advances, a spark away from conflagration |
| In the night, I saw you fall, oh, wicked star |
| Illuminate our hate, show us who we really are |
| Books were burned away |
| Only swords remained |
| The prophets died for peace |
| Stabbed by preying priests |
| As the wise man said |
| «I'll keep my heart and lose my head» |
| Without a neck how can I sink |
| With a millstone to the bottom of the sea? |
| The bottom of the sea |
| And I’m finding the violence, it looks like me |
| Singing songs of life |
| When all we know is death |
| A world of orphans |
| Left empty-handed |
| If love’s a sin, I’ll become a heretic |
| Recurring intervention |
| Framing the narrative to cleanse our tainted conscience |
| Harvesting destruction |
| Reaping the sow from weapons planted in the soil |
| Terrified little son |
| Encumbered by your sword |
| You can hide your fear but won’t shed the sheer |
| Weight of your own humanity, humanity |
| You can face me towards the mountains where I meet our mother’s gaze |
| Too blinded by this hatred to recognize your brother’s face |
| Singing songs of life |
| When all we know is death |
| A world of orphans |
| Left empty-handed |
| I’ll collapse, head parting from my weary shoulders |
| Seeds of life spilling from my palms |
| Subverting love will take hold in this hateful soil |
| My blood is the water |
| Inshallah, Shalom |
| Love will take hold |
