Hear, Oh, Israel Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, and I shall repay
Say Kaddish for the children Terrorized by the IDF Starved to death in Iraq Cluster bombed in Lebanon
Say Kaddish for the old men and women Humiliated at the checkpoints
Say Kaddish for Maryam and Youssef Turned back from Bethlehem
Say Kaddish for the settler colonists, The scourge of Palestine, The scum of the earth, For they shall be cursed Yea, unto the seventh generation
Say Kaddish for the innocent Israelis Blown up in the blowback
Lo, after the land is laid waste And the children of Abraham have been struck down Those who survive will eat the bitter rinds
Yea, they have sown dragon's teeth And they shall reap the whirlwind
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity and a striving after wind
Hear, Oh, Israel Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, and I shall repay
