Forlorn Hope Lyrics
An old man is proud
but behind his modest smile lies the grief
Only one picture of his brave son remains
It seems that the vicious circle
Can never be broken through
The hopeful ones gathered their strength
To achieve the apparent impossible
But all plans seem to be in vain
As a soldier of Allah
He's an example for the others
On his bloody way to immortality
It seems that the vicious circle
Can never be broken through
Because old wounds are reopened every time
This Intifada as a device
To thwart the peace negotiations
He can rely on a reward in the hereafter
Eternal paradise awaits him
Pugnacity
With our blood
Show no mercy
With our soul
Die for heaven
An eye for an eye
Burn to let them...
Suffer for all their actions
We will not move an inch
They won't play in our hands
We will not tolerate those who defy
We will not hesitate
To start an attack
If you undermine the agreement
Let them suffer!
Stop to let them suffer!
but behind his modest smile lies the grief
Only one picture of his brave son remains
Can never be broken through
To achieve the apparent impossible
But all plans seem to be in vain
He's an example for the others
On his bloody way to immortality
Can never be broken through
Because old wounds are reopened every time
To thwart the peace negotiations
Eternal paradise awaits him
With our blood
Show no mercy
With our soul
Die for heaven
An eye for an eye
Burn to let them...
Suffer for all their actions
They won't play in our hands
We will not tolerate those who defy
To start an attack
If you undermine the agreement
Stop to let them suffer!

The Male voice around 4:34 sounds like: The beast, that (was) postponed today, gives us hope, that the hope the children born today, will never know war between us, and their mothers, That know no sorrow, Allow me to end, by the simple words,
It's actually:
The peace that was born today gives us all the hope that the children born today will never know war between us and their mothers will know no sorrow. Allow me to end by the simple words: Shalom, Salaam, Peace
It's from the "Address by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin at the signing ceremony of the Treaty of Peace between the State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan"
Sounds like the song is about the tension in the Middle East, fundamentalism and how war affects people
Ok, sweet. I was guessing it as I was listening.
Good song.
This is my favorite After Forever song because my name is said in it.
Three times.
