Lyrics:
The stage is set, the bets are in
The world is waiting for the show to begin
We keep the peace with arms of steel
We're building bombs instead of bridges of healing
Lo yisa goy el goy cherev
V'lo Yil'm'du od milchamah
Lo yisa goy el goy cherev
V'lo Yil'm'du od milchamah
We sell our souls, we seize the day
As if our future is so far away
Who's gonna fall in the balance of power
The stakes get higher with every hour
Lo yisa goy el goy cherev...
Sim shalom tovah uv'rachah
Cheyn va'chesed v'rachamim
Aleynu v'al kol Yisrael
Al kol Yisrael amecha
