Israel

This song was written after seeing a documentary about an atrocity outside a temple during the Second World War.  I taught RE for 12 years and have always been interested in religious history. I hope this song is objective – it is almost a transcript of what one of the protagonists thought and felt at the time.

3 bars

I sing to Mishulla
I sing to Mishulla

3 bars

Israel is calling, calling all their white washed tears
Brothers really trying to forget their hungry tears
Maybe maybe someone’s calling
Maybe maybe someone’s falling down

Sing in the ides of history
Say it’s all forgotten now
Smile as you say you forgive them
Light a candle to our love

12 bars

Israel is calling, calling all their white washed tears
Brothers really trying to forget their hungry tears
Maybe maybe someone’s calling
Maybe maybe someone’s falling down

Sing in the ides of history
Say it’s all forgotten now
Smile as you say you forgive them
Light a candle to our love

Oh ah ah
Oh ah ah

I sing to Mishulla
I sing to Mishulla
