Israel

You have been chased
For all your life
Fear and hatred
Became your drive

But with the years you got the weapons
And with the years you learned to fight
Repressing all these desperate nights

Don't you hear your own voice pleading
Your cries for mercy day by day
You never got so why should they?

Look, where you have gone – after all the years in black
Now that you have grown strong (Let's pay it back, let's pay it back)
This vicious circle never ends
Look, what you have done – it is bloodguilt on your hands

Tormentors round you
Won't come to rest
Still point the fingers
At ghost of the past

Now that the wound's no longer bleeding
Make rough the scars you held so dear
Your cries for help will find it's ear

Never again you'll be the victim
Never again you will back down
Benignancy won't win a crown

Look, where you have gone – after all the years in black
Now that you have grown strong (Let's pay it back, let's pay it back)
This vicious circle never ends
Look, what you have done – it is bloodguilt on your hands

Thrown in a world full of monsters
It's more than hell that you walked through
Seasoned by the hard times
The monster became you!

Look, where you have gone – after all the years in black
Now that you have grown strong (Let's pay it back, let's pay it back)
This vicious circle never ends
Look, what you have done – it is bloodguilt on your hands
On your hands – on your hands – on your hands!
