Lyrics
Dear friend, there may be no difference with love and faith in the end Will these gentle words make my appeal? I'm reading your heart as you read this letter, I've been implored to write They say, for the sake of humanity It's all in your hands now You can break these chains if you choose Dragging us down the road to hell And they say you're a monster, but brother I pray for your strength The weak can't forgive, only the strong And in the end we're saved from all this violence As love keeps on burning through the darkest nights Dear friend, hear the voice of love when all is silence It carries the laws of God All vows, are we closer? Never forget or forgive 'Gam ze ya'avor', this too will fade So let them take possession Violent victories are always defeats Allow yourself, man, woman, child to be slaughtered and they'll never win
