Judah Loew's Mistake

When the sun rose up today and banish the shadows out of town A little boy was found, lying on the ground No one knew his name, you know what it means It means we will be chased so let's wake the clay machines Mothers close your doors and fold your babies' arms Hide your babies' bed, please close your babies' eyes After all it must be told Our land's being attacked we must have something to protect Ourselves against the heads of state Who still deny, deny, deny They can cross the world and fight the power of the men But before long, at the break of dawn, the golem will be strong We turned around around around them all night long Dancing, shouting antic prayers not to do it wrong We wrote the name of God on the forehead of the beast I asked him to stand up, to walk and to resist After all, it must be told Our land's being attacked we must have something to protect Ourselves against the heads of state Who still deny, deny, deny They can cross the world and fight the power of the men But before long, at the break of dawn, the golem will be strong Unfortunately he did more than chase them out of town He first crossed the line and he killed them one by one When he returned I had to erase the "aleph" On the forehead of the beast now the only word you can read is "death" 'cause Our land's being attacked we must have something to protect Ourselves against the heads of state We still deny, deny, deny They can cross the world and fight the power of the men But before long, at the break of dawn, the golem will be strong
