3 Oaths

In the shadow of the sacred stones,

Where the Shekhinah weeps and moans,

A faithful few still hold the line,

Against the idols of our time.

We wear the black, the fur, the pledge,

To guard the Torah's sacred edge.

Three oaths we swore at Sinai's fire,

Three oaths that never will expire:

Not to storm the wall by force of hand,

Not to rebel against any land,

Not to hasten the end by mortal plan,

But to wait for G-d, as only He can!

WATCHERS! On the walls we stand!

For the Holy Land, not man's command!

We will not bow to earthly kings,

To flags or rifles, or their stings!

Neturei Karta, hear the cry!

We serve the Most High! We serve the Most High!

This occupation is a sin,

A state that never should have been!

From the river to the sea, we cry,

For justice that will never die!

We stand against Zionism's plan,

A path that strays from G-d's own clan!

Israel's claim we must decry,

A wrong that justice will rectify!

\

A hundred souls against the tide,

But G-d is always on our side.

We stand with Palestine, hand in hand,

For justice in this holy land!

The Messiah comes when we are pure,

Not when the guns and bombs secure!

**(Guitar Solo - Melodic, Middle Eastern scale.)**

**(Chorus - Faster, powerful, a battle cry.)**

WATCHERS! On the walls we stand!

For the Holy Land, not man's command!

We will not bow to earthly kings,

To flags or rifles, or their stings!

Neturei Karta, hear the cry!

We serve the Most High! We serve the Most High!

We are the guardians of the gate,

We hold the truth, we hold the light!

Let Zionism fade and fall,

Return the land to one and all!

Solidarity is our creed,

Three oaths bind us 'til His deed!

For the Messiah, we remain,

In the exile, we will not feign!
