This song goes out to Ahmed.
The Jews don't fear you. We fear God. We
don't give a damn about your evil plans.
Cuz no man can stand up against God's
hand. Not the first to curse us. Won't
be the last. And if I were you, I would
learn from the past. Many came before
you to do us wrong. But they're all long
gone and we still stand strong. In
ancient Iran lived a man named Hamman
who rose in the capital of Shushine.
When he walked down the street, every
man he would meet was commanded to bow
to the ground at his feet. But there was
one guy named Morai, a Jew who served
only God most high. And day after day,
he refused to obey. So Hermon decided he
would make him pay. But it wasn't enough
just to kill one man. Instead, he
devised a grandmaster plan and persuaded
the king to kill every Jew from the land
of Kushar. The way to hold do drew
random lots to determine the date. Put
our people's lives in the hands of fate.
And it fell on the 13th day of a dar.
They would slay every Jew both near and
far. When we heard the news, we wept and
fasted. Sackcloth and ashes spread
through the masses. We turn to Hashem
all of Israel. Pray that the wicked Han
would fail. This song goes out to Ahmed.
The Jews don't fear you. We fear God. We
don't give a damn about your evil plans.
Cuz no man could stand up against God's
hand. Not the first to curse us. Won't
be the last. And if I were you, I would
learn from the past. Many came before
you to do us wrong. But they're all long
gone. And we still stand strong. A man
just could not wait for the day that the
Jewish people would meet their fate. Cuz
every day he saw Morai at the gate and
his heart was filled with so much hate.
When he complained to his friends and
his wife, they told her just take that
Jew's life. So he built the gallows 50
almost high and tried to have the king
hang more.
But the queen secretly turned out to be
a girl from a nice Jewish family as she
came into the king told him that someone
was trying to wipe out her kin. Enraged
anyone would threaten the life of those
close to the woman he chose as a wife.
The king asked her who's behind this
plan. She replied this wicked hermon is
the man. He trembled in tear. He lost
control. He begged queen Esther to spare
his soul.
