The Kiss of Babylon (Live @ Heichal HaTarbut, Tel Aviv 2021)

Twisted ways blackened nights

Sin upon Sin, gone is the light

Doom shall befall them all

A Downward spiral they shall fall

The Three, all this they see

As they try to pass god's decree

Worshiping the gods

that demand lives and sacrifice

None but the blood of infants will suffice

Fallen sparrows fall as one into a grave

They are the souls of living men

that could not be saved.

"Walking the land we see

The sins of flesh and spirit flow

Bodies entwined a serpent's

leathel kiss of venom is bestowed

Our lord watches them fall

He stands above you all"

"Son slaying father

A Cain's mark upon us all

Babylon's rising, cast from heaven

We see the angels fall

When will the heavens be alight

The seasons will re-unite"

"Ahavat hadasa al levavi nikshera

Ve'ani betoch gola paamay tzolelim;

Lu yesh reshut li a'ale ethabera

Toch she'arey zion asher hem nehelalim;"

Translation:

"My heart is bound with love to the Holy Land,

But my feet are sinking in the depths of exile

When will he give me leave to go up and make my home

Within the extolled gates of Jerusalem?"
