Arik’s Fist



[Yom Hazikaron – Israel Memorial Day May 1 2017]
Arik’s Fist

Line in the sand demarcated by blood
Border line formed after the red flood
Thousands more upon millions before
The cost to be a free Nation once more

The enemy’s faces are a rough blur
Thru’ the ages they’ve tried but failed to deter
Link to the past is the biblical chain unbroken
They stand upon the shoulders of Saul, David, Joshua and Gideon

Land of Israel from the days of Canaan
Showed the way from slavery to freedom
First fighter was Moses to the most recent to die
A Nation that mourns and knows what it is to cry

The stones are silent upon the graves
Hatikvah rings out and the living know they’re not slaves
They’re free Jews in the Land that was twice before lost
Dried blood in the sand declares that loss will be the last
