lyrics

It's high-dusk in Akko town, the end
of the High Days to boot. And the
fishing boats and the sandstone walls
Knock the sea west of Galilee.

For he's come one night through the
neighbourhood, and a blameless
man he may well have been, saying
"Here am I, behind the wheel, though
on this day it is outlawed by creed.

I am a man upon the land, the
crescent moon my only guide. And
when I step through David's gate,
I'm neither whale nor minnow."

And he has taken a leap of faith,
Behind the wheel in a dash across
town. Now the heave of stones at
the moving windows, bedlam in
the willows and ill fares the land.

The tensions stoked for nights
therewith, knives and clubs, hotheads,
a mob. Saying "There are several faiths
herein, but one law and overlords.

For if you're not our kin and ilk, the
crescent moon your only guide,
The law will shine on your every
flagstone, unjust as the day is long."
