Oh, Palestine

In nineteenhundred-fourty-eight
the natives were expelled
From the land of their ancestors
Their homes and cities shelled

From the traitors in Transjordan
to clandestine British demand
By the settler Zionist army
That rampaged across the land

Oh Palestine, oh Palestine
We hear your desperate plea
That once again across the land
Your people can be free
Oh Palestine, oh Palestine
Your people live in fear
We demand your emancipation
From the river to the sea

In 1967
Israel did invade
To conquer and to colonize
What little had remained

The people of old Palestine
Once again their fates entwined
With the Zionist occupation
Of their homes and weary minds

In 2023,
they've come a final time
To destroy your homes and families
With a murderous lethal design

The bombs o'er head are falling
As our leaders continue their lies
The sky does glow and the blood it flows
As we hear the children's cries

TERUG
