lyrics

all of us slowly come to hate ourselves in this place
and most of us are forced to deny what we love in this place
ours is a struggle for that which is beyond words
and fists of iron illustrate our rage

let the blood of jzazcov be a memory
of when we suffered bondage and fought to be free
and when we bleed together
it binds us for eternity

our scars are many and we wear them with pride
each one remembers us to a fray deeply justified
these streets are paved with fear and scorched with bitterness
every city block is indicative of a falling empire

our despair in this place fills the shtetls and reaches god
but he turns away
and so it is inflicted upon the ones closest to us

i found the body of my mother today
her eyes looked beyond this world, beyond the old country
i found a sad eyed girl to call my lover today
together we abandon our broken world
