(intro)
“Arbeit macht frei”
Letters forged in lies
A gate that opened into hell
(Verse 1)
They were numbers, not names
Skin carved by silence and snow
Children walked into chimneys
Mothers wept with mouths sewn shut
(Verse 2)
The trains sang like coffins
Smoke replaced prayers
Shoes stacked like graves
And the world turned its face
(Pre-Chorus)
אַיִּן יָד, אַיִּן קוֹל — רַק אֵפֶר
אֲפִלּוּ אֱלֹהִים הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו
(Chorus)
This is the sound of the silence they left
The scream buried under barbed wire
History carved into bone
Never again — yet always too late
(Verse 3)
Hands reached through wire — no one held them
Stars sewn into skin like targets
The earth swallowed their names
And memory was burned with their flesh
(Pre-Chorus)
אַיִּן דִּמְעוֹת — רַק עָפָר וְצַעַקָּה
כְּלוֹם לֹא נִשְׁאַר בַּבֶּטֶן שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם
(Chorus)
This is the sound of the silence they left
The scream buried under barbed wire
History carved into bone
Never again — yet always too late
(Outro)
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל… אַבָּא שֶׁלִּי בָּאֵשׁ
הָיָה אֵין, יִהְיֶה לֹא — תָּן שֶׁכִּכְרוּב הָאֵפֶר יִשָּׁאֵר
