  • Hush Yael, I hear them coming
    We'll hide here until we're safe
    Just hold tight to me,
    Until they find what they need

    Hush little Yael, I hear them leaving for the beach
    Where on the stone and sand
    Your sister finds her sleep

    Wet your jaws for the world
    We're going back to the darkest hours
    Where our kind has confirmed
    We are the masters of sin and slaughter

    On the 22nd day of the 4th month, 1979
    Warrants a judgment
    Because he came and he saw
    And this coward conquered a family asleep in their home

    Rise
    Rise
    We must rise for the helpless and fight for their justice

    So lift your voices high
    Higher than the mountains of their spite
    We are
    We are the fearless, the ruthless,
    The heralds of our time

    So lift your voices high
    Higher than the mountains of their spite
    We are
    We are the fearless, the ruthless,
    The heroes of our time

    She had to watch him pull the trigger in her daddy's back
    Then put his face to the waves till he took his last
    Then he took her life with the butt of a gun
    Four years from when her life had begun

    Rise
    Rise
    Rise
    Rise

    We are all weavers at the loom of the slaughter
    But we will rise and make these victims our martyrs

    So lift your voices high
    Higher than the mountains of their spite
    We are
    We are the fearless, the ruthless,
    The heralds of our time

    So lift your voices high
    Higher than the mountains of their spite
    We are
    We are the fearless, the ruthless,
    The heroes of our time

    Make him beg for his life
    Make him beg for his life
    He made me watch as my family died
    He'll never know what it's like
    So cut him slow until his soul takes flight

    Hush Yael, they found him and they put him in chains
    The one who broke our home is finally feeling pain
    Hush little Yael, I'm sorry your lungs are empty
    But in your new home, that man will not be seen

    End him slow
    End him slow
    Make him feel the rocks that her temple rode
    End him slow
    End him slow
    End him slow Publisher: Capitol CMG Publishing
