Part 1 – The Atrocities of the King
Mad King, enraged
Misguided fury unleashed again
Oppressed, enslaved
A way of life taken away
Martyring our people
Desecrate the temple
The time to stand is now
Or it shall go on and on and on
Part 2 – The Fight Begins
Smote the Hellenistic on the altar’s stone
Fled to the hills but not alone
His five sons at his side
Became a force undenied
Striking in silеnt raids the legends grеw
The time is now
The brave stand proud
So follow me
To victory
The king will see
The Macabbees
Shall battle on
And on
He looked at his son through his dying eyes
The man, the hammer, Judah’s arrived
From his might and bravery
Came a string of victories
Wielding Apollonius’s sword – “come, follow me”
Part 3 – Taking the Temple
Dying
Defying
The enemy defeated comes back once more
Judah
Oh Judah
Taking the temple with the might of his sword
Darkness
Whoa darkness
The days are hard and the nights grow cold
LIGHT!
Burns through the night
The reconsecration celebrated by all
“It’s time to battle on again, through our strength they’ll see”
“Judah, don’t go to this end, your death will surely be”
Fathers and sons, rejoice
We have victory
“Raise thy swords
The temple is yours!”
Kneeling no more!
Begging no more!
Oppression no More!
No More!!!
The light
Burns bright
This miracle brings strength tonight
Eight days
Of light
The burning candles are now a rite
Our heart
Our soul
The will of one is the will of all
They died
We cried
For them we shall live on
