Arise

Arise from tears and ashes,
From blood and pain and sorrow!
Arise from graveyard darkness,
From heat of fire flames!
The hung, and crushed, and tortured,
The gassed, and burned, and buried,
The nation of the bravest,
The Chosen One by God!

Chorus:
With Faith as holy weapon,
You struggled for millennia,
Through banishment you never fell,
With Faith, you have prevailed!

Your sons and daughters scattered,
Like dust, around the planet,
Your land of holy prophets
Is dried by desert sun.
For freedom of your children
You pay with endless suffering
You pay with their blood and tears
For right to live and breathe.

Chorus

Arise in resurrection
And sing through joy and sorrow!
From death into the light arise
For you are free at last!
Exiled from own Motherland
Through wars, abuse, and murders,
You never in your history
Got down on your knees!

The hung, and crushed, and tortured,
The gassed, and burned, and buried,
The one God-chosen Nation
Arise again, arise!
