We celebrate the wars we won

The blood of history's ancient sons

We followed judah maccabee

We fought against iniquity

We saved ourselves with help from one

Who loves his children, everyone

Everyone, everyone

Everyone, everyone



So now jerusalem, you know that it's not right

After all you've been through, you should know better than

To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from



The lessons we should learn from all

The fighting in the days of old

When providence was still divine

The sanctuary purified

Let lightning circle all you hold

And don't uproot the olive grove



So now jerusalem, you know that it's not right

After all you've been through, you should know better than

To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from



So now jerusalem, you know that it's not right

After all you've been through, you should know better than

To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from
