The Betrayed

Take your son to the land of Moriah
Take his life, throw his body to pyre
An angel of the Lord
Steps in by the grace of all that's good
We see your submission
Now you have Heaven's blessing
Feel the pain, the pain of your children
The law of God left them to wolves
The law of weak and strong
Your people trampled underfoot

We are the Betrayed
We are the Betrayed
Leave us to our fates
Leave us to our fates
We are the Betrayed
We are the Betrayed
Lead us to our graves
Lead us to our graves

The Betrayed, piled up as one
Slaving in the desert sun
Forgotten people, burning hands
Build an Empire from the sand

Feel the shame, the disgrace of a nation
Trains of death, rolling into the station
Shaven heads, all skin and bone
Propaganda, ignorance has won
Ancient grudges, held against them
Complicit judge, behests the pain
What could they have done?
Original sin comes back to haunt again

We are the Betrayed
We are the Betrayed
Leave us to our fates
Leave us to our fates
We are the Betrayed
We are the Betrayed
Lead us to our graves
Lead us to our graves

The Betrayed, piled up as one
Slaving in the desert sun
Forgotten people, burning hands
Build an Empire from the sand

The Betrayed forgotten, bought and sold
Left for dead in the Polish cold
Forgotten people, frozen hands
Rounded up and banished from the land
Betrayed
The Betrayed, piled up as one
Slaving in the desert sun
Forgotten people, burning hands
Build an Empire from the sand
The Betrayed
We are the Betrayed
