The temple lay in ruins, it's holiness defiled
Victim to the madness of a world gone wild
Standing near the altar not afraid to be seen
She lashes out and strikes it, her words are so abseen
"Hungry wolf, how israel's wells you devour
Yet you don't stand by them in their most troubled hour"
She's the daughter of bilgah and wife of a Greek
She'd abandoned her people, she despises the weak
Punished by the priests, shunned from above
She traded her people for a forbidden love
Decrying the altar, Did she have no shame?
Now forever tarnished was the bilgah name.
Decrying the altar, Did she have no shame?
Now forever tarnished was the bilgah name.
Many years have passed and thousands have appeared
To sit before and hear the voice of a leader so revered
But they were all surprised that the
Rebbes words, he had someone else in mind
To stand up for the daughter of bilgah to set things right
"The people of your time, had thought that you had strayed
But you pounded the altar to defend the betrayal"
The voice of compassion for the woman who dared
To show her own people, that she really cared!
Punished by the priests, shunned from above
At last there was one who had only words of love
For 2,000 years she carried her shame
How she longer for someone to liberate her name
Roaming through time, had this tortured soul, nowhere to rest
Nowhere to hide, no words to console
Roaming through time, had this tortured soul nowhere to rest
Nowhere to hide, no words to console
Punished by the priests, shunned from above
At last there was one who had only words of love
Her time had come now to enter heavens gates
From those words of comfort
The night a Soul was Saved
Her time had come now to enter heavens gates
From those words of comfort
The night a Soul was Saved
Her time had come now to enter heavens gates
From those words of comfort
The night a Soul was Saved
