Internalize Deir Yassin Lyrics

Sunrise / Gods eyes
Stray from the cruelest sights
With walls / with lies
Trying to keep out the cries
Sterilized / Euthanized
In the name of Jehovah or Christ
Across this land so desired
Military checkpoints
Gun turrets and barbed wire
Worlds of desolation about and within
In the wake of Deir Yassin

Colonization, of the soil and of the heart
The sons of Abraham - tear each other apart
Amongst the olive branches whisper the dead
Blood mixed with soil, hills turning red

Colonization!

Shoulder the heirloom of murder and sin
Internalize Deir Yassin
As the land weeps for its children led astray…

By a culture specialized to bring despair
Cast lead, teargas projectiles fill the air
The cold of the war machine, as cold as the wind of the west
Cold minds, not any warmth left - inside their chest

Colonization!

Shoulder the heirloom of murder and sin
Internalize Deir Yassin

Generations of refugees
Hurt pride and indignity
Driven into the ground
Rubber bullets and live rounds
Discarded shells pave way to Gehenna
Holy words blind the eyes of the sinner
The land weeps for its children led astray
They lost their way, we lost our way

I hear the voice of madness
Passed down the generations
Insane and tortured victims
Will bring us to the end
There'll no peace in this land
There'll be no peace in this world
We let fear and greed rule
They get what we deserve
Ideas of ownership will
Possess the scared and dispossessed
Neurotic paranoia
Will pass on like a pest
Divide and conquer
Pillage and rule
Amerigo Vespuci to Menachem Begin
Wounded Knee to Deir Yassin
From Dachau to Shatila
A web of pain
Screams that will echo
Again and again

Against corrupted aggressors
Behind guns and lies
With barriers of concrete and steel
In their vain attempt to keep out the cries
Of the effectively euthanized
In the name of Jehovah or Christ
Across the land so desired
Military checkpoints
Gun turrets and barbed wire
Desolation – about and within
In the wake of Deir Yassin

Shoulder their heirloom of murder and sin
Internalize Deir Yassin
The land weeps for its children led astray
Stumbling through deserts and to deaf ears they pray
Faced by silence they kneel
Bow down to praise cold steel

Generations of refugees
Hurt pride and indignity
Driven into the ground
Rubber bullets and live rounds
Discarded shells pave way to Gehenna
Holy words blind the eyes of the sinner
The land weeps for its children led astray
They lost their way, we lost our way

There'll no peace in this land
There'll be no peace in this world
We let fear and greed rule
They get what we deserve

There'll be no peace in this land
There'll be no peace in this world
We internalized vice and sin
We internalized Deir Yassin
