Lyrics Oh, Sleeper

Oh, Sleeper

Hush Yael

Hush Yael, I hear them coming

We'll hide here until we're safe

Just hold tight to me,

Until they find what they need

Hush little Yael, I hear them leaving for the beach

Where on the stone and sand

Your sister finds her sleep

Wet your jaws for the world

We're going back to the darkest hours

Where our kind has confirmed

We are the masters of sin and slaughter

On the 22nd day of the 4th month, 1979

Warrants a judgment

Because he came and he saw

And this coward conquered a family asleep in their home

Rise

Rise

We must rise for the helpless and fight for their justice

So lift your voices high

Higher than the mountains of their spite

We are

We are the fearless, the ruthless,

The heralds of our time

So lift your voices high

Higher than the mountains of their spite

We are

We are the fearless, the ruthless,

The heroes of our time

She had to watch him pull the trigger in her daddy's back

Then put his face to the waves till he took his last

Then he took her life with the butt of a gun

Four years from when her life had begun

Rise

Rise

Rise

Rise

We are all weavers at the loom of the slaughter

But we will rise and make these victims our martyrs

So lift your voices high

Higher than the mountains of their spite

We are

We are the fearless, the ruthless,

The heralds of our time

So lift your voices high

Higher than the mountains of their spite

We are

We are the fearless, the ruthless,

The heroes of our time

Make him beg for his life

Make him beg for his life

He made me watch as my family died

He'll never know what it's like

So cut him slow until his soul takes flight

Hush Yael, they found him and they put him in chains

The one who broke our home is finally feeling pain

Hush little Yael, I'm sorry your lungs are empty

But in your new home, that man will not be seen

End him slow

End him slow

Make him feel the rocks that her temple rode

End him slow

End him slow

End him slow
