Five fathoms down submission lies Its bones of coral made Too often Torquemadas lead The brightest to the grave The ideas of Christ are actions Take courage heart of mine And cease to idle fancy Step across the line The enemy hearkens â" a beast in the darkness The mauser it wakes in my hand I imagine a day when resignation is violence And know I would feel the command In Vilna beat plowshares to swords In the face of their pain pacifism unglues S'vet a poyk tuntrot: Meer ze-nen do The enemy hearkens a beast in the darkness It measures and qualifies me How deep can it drink the blood of the people? Before my vows are released With each day of fumbling, does action learn something? When will Love find its opposable thumb? Will it reach as it prays or preach while it stays And bask in noblest pledges undone? The enemy turns â" his humanity burns me To avoid the fist we will try. Despise the crusader â" regect the invader But when must the ghetto arise? Song of my fathers a voice in the darkness The mauser it drops from my hand I dream of a day when the violent are emptied And peace is the only command.
