8. The Bad Dream
We headed up north, it was late at night,
Some of our mates were caught in a tank battle, and
Deep down inside we knew we had to fight, and
The commander said, Boys, there’s trouble in the air!
That night we lost our guardian angel,
Some of us prayed, and someone just cursed.
So we crossed the lines, obeyed the law, and
A sergeant barked, Boys, we fuck them up for peace!
Some loaded their guns, and someone just belched,
But our mate thought of the Sabbath to come.
His Mom cleaned the house as if she knew
That there was a mourning to come,
And deep down inside we knew it all
About the fears and the pain
And how fragile we were.
How fragile we are, how fragile we are.
Some of us prayed, and someone just cursed,
But he thought of the Sabbath to come,
When he’d be back, with a backpack on his back,
When he’d be back at Mevasseret.
When he’d be back home,
With Jonathan and Ruti and Dad and Mom,
With Jonathan and Ruti and Dad and Mom.
Then we’ve lost our guardian angel, and
God said to Abraham: Give me your son!
So we crossed the lines on this worst day of war,
And God pointed down: Is he the one?
And God asked: Abe, is this your son?
Is this – your – son?
