Mimoriom (From Above)
06:31

From above he sent a fire
down into my bones.
He spread a net for my feet
and hurled me backward;
he has left me forlorn, in constant misery.
The yoke of my offenses
is bound fast.
Lashed tight by his hand,
imposed upon my neck.
It saps my strength
Adonoi has delivered me
into the hands of those
who I cannot withstand.
Adonoi has rejected
all my heroes.
He has proclaimed a set time
against me
to crush my young men.
As in a press,
Adonoi has trodden fair maiden Judah
For these things I weep.
My eyes flow with tears.
Any comfort is far from me.
Who might revive my spirit?
My children are forlorn,
for the foe has prevailed.
Tzion spreads out her hands,
she has no one to comfort her.
Adonoi has summoned
against Yakov.
Jerusalem
has become among them
a thing unclean.

V'hinai (And Behold)
06:15

I will strike my hands over your ill-gotten gains
Will your courage endure?
Will our hands remain firm in the days when I deal with you?
I will scatter you among the nations
and disperse you through the lands
I will consume the uncleanness out of you
O mortal, the House of Israel has become dross to me
They are all copper, tin, iron, and lead
But in a crucible, the dross shall turn to silver
Because you have become dross
I will gather you into Jerusalem
As silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin
are gathered into a crucible to blow fire upon them
so as to melt them
I will gather you in my fierce anger and cast you into the fire and melt you
I will gather you and I will blow upon you the fire of my fury
and you shall be melted in it
As silver is melted in a crucible, so shall you be melted in it
And you shall I know, I Adonoi have poured my fury upon you

The Dybbuk
04:30
|
|||
|
It screams in the night
visions torn from dreams
As evil draws near
The stars fade away
Dibbukim assail the night
Anguish paves the way
The aether has stirred
over a forsaken grave.
Rage from a restless death,
a life inflicting pain
Dibbukim assail the night
Sin paves the road
Leek’boa daan mezuzos
Spit thrice, cast salt!
But anguish still hangs in her eyes.
The sky scream its warning.
The night is torn asunder.

The hands of Adonoi came upon me
He took me out by the spirit of Adonoi
and set me down in the valley
it was full of bones
he led me all around them
there were very many of them spread over the valley
and they were dry
he said to me, O mortal,
can these bones live again?
I replied Adonoi, only you know
He said to me
Prophesy over these bones and say to them
O dry bones, hear the word of Adonoi
Thus said Adonoi to these bones
I will cause breath to enter you
and you shall live again
I will lay sinews upon you and cover you with flesh
and form skin over you.
And I will put breath into you and you shall live again
and you shall know I am Adonoi

I am the one
who has known affliction
under the rod of his wrath.
He drove me on and on
in unrelieved darkness
He brings his hand down
only upon me
again and again without end.
He has worn away my flesh
and skin.
He has shattered my bones.
All around me, he has built misery
and hardship
He has made me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.
He has walled me in
and I cannot break out.
He has weighed me down with chains.
And when I cry and plead
he shuts out my prayers.
He has walled in my ways with hewn blocks
he has made my paths a maze.
He is a lurking bear to me,
a lion in hiding.
He has forced me off my path
and mangled me,
he has left me numb.
He has bent his bow
and made me the target of his arrows
He has shot into my body
the shafts of his quiver
I have become a laughingstock
to all people.
He has filled me with bitterness,
sated me with wormwood.

Ki Heiki
07:08
|

|
A broken moon streaks across the sky
A mourning of trees laid to waste
My soul is shattered.
A mountain of progress
sharpens the knife of time.
Grant us this,
Long live the trees.
Grant us this,
Long live the works of creation.
Avraham, Yitzak, Yakov,
strengthen us to guard these works.
Sarah, Rivka, Rakhel, ooch'Leah
we will plant the seeds
for the next generation.
The soil rich with the blood of those before us
Regrow as trees in the ashes of time
Reborn with a heart that bleeds
כִּי הֵיכִי דִּשְׁתַלוּ לִי אֲבָהָתִי — שְׁתַלִי נָמֵי לִבְרָאִי
