G-D, UNTIL WHEN
My G-d, my G-d oh my G-d until when?
A minute of silence is not enough for six million
We can never grasp the size of the atrocity
He hada final vision the solution
Everyone is going "to sleep" and its the final day
One by one, an entire people almost perished
Even the bravest did not survive
No one was a person, everyone became a number
That stands in a long line not to see tomorrow
So much crying a not even a single tear
So many endings, that's just a beginning
Many prayers, screams, yet no sound heard
And why doesn't the Messiah come to save us?
Moving targets in the devil's shooting gallery
Impossible to hide and no place to escape
Temperature rising, our feet stick to the ground
Dust to dust, our souls go to heaven
The death trains, the web of lies
Helpless, still struggling for their lives
They were murdered, robbed, their souls faded out
The perished were counted, we won't forget their names
Freedom vanished, but the hope still remained
Our spirit stirred deep in our hearts, our eyes looking
A massacre without a reason
So many victims
Thaws who had yellow stars on their shirts
Were thrown into the fire
How is it possible to exterminate kids' dreams,
While kidnapping adults' memories?
What did I do so bad that there's no forgiveness?
I always said "Amen" after every prayer!
Now thoughts run in my head welcoming death
Tell me, how we lost all human likeness
Feel what we have been through in the Holocaust,
sixty years later, it never left our souls
A big scream is stuck inside my throat
Six million! Never left my memory!
What's the error that Antisemitism happened
Who gave man the right to extinguish a culture?
Of the Star of David a vestige remains
I'll wear mine, never take it off as long as I live
That it may explain in the future
Not to repeat the same mistakes
And to remind to keep my eyes open
To learn not to become bait for the hunters
Not to be afraid or scared to stand up
To live in dignity and die in dignity
The code to heaven is survival
The sun will rise, the sun will set
The rain will come and wash everything away
This circle is round that's right
Why if there's life after death,
Shall we wait for it there!
My G-d, my G-d oh my G-d until when?
