All Is One
we're the orphans from the holy land,the tears of jerusalem.and in darkness we have prayed and swore to rise up once again.
we are all the sons of the blazing sun.sharing our faith through the barrel of a gun.we walk on holy water yet we burn.brothers of the orient let's stand as one.
an ancient promise in an orphaned land.a clenched fist becomes an open hand.armed forces spill their blood on holy sands.again and again we fail to see that all is one.
all is one.all is one.all is one.
words like venom through our veins they run.weaving a web of deception,hope is gone.shall we re-live the pain of wars before?or shall we be the light,the new folklore?
evil falls on each of us,that is nothing new.who cares if you're a muslim or a jew.the awakened ones are nothing but a few.and the one to make the difference now is you.
all is one.all is one.
from the middle eastern lands we ride,all children of abraham.our only sword,the light within,that burns with the sun.we're the orphans from the holy land,the keepers of or-shalem.so we bow to you,our warriors,for being simple men.
so we bow to you,our warriors,for being simple men.
END OF LYRICS
hello all!
i am not a jew or a palestinian.
i am a canadian of irish descent.i am a socialist and an atheist.
but,
this music,and its message,and the official video,make me well up with emotion.
show this to all your friends.
spread it like wildfire.
all israelis and all palestinians need to know of it.
the extremists in hamas need to know of it.
the fascist asshole netanyahu needs to know of it.
ALL IS ONE!
there is (NO practical difference)between the terrorism of the palestinians,and the counter-attacks or preemptive attacks by the IDF.
you know what a terrorist is?an army without an air force.
both sides in this conflict (especially the palestinians)have very legitimate grievances.but when violence only justifies more violence,it accomplishes nothing.
people die,
that is all.
people are wounded,
that is all.
people are permanently injured,
that is all.
people are homeless,
that is all.
when both sides in this conflict realize these (FACTS),then there will (MAYBE) be some small chance for peace.
but i am not at all optimistic.
