FOR ISRAEL (THE WRECKONING)

Independent Atlanta-area band The Wreckoning wrote and recorded FOR ISRAEL in July 2011. The song is a musical departure from their normal hard rock sound, in that it is acoustic & much different sonically than anything they have recorded before. The song was written to show support for Israel in the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East. In the current political climate, The Wreckoning thought it was important to show solidarity with the only truly free & democratic country in the Middle East. Israel has been, and continues to be, our best Allie in a very dangerous & unstable region. The Wreckoning is a hard rock band, but cites the long history in rock of bands writing songs that put an ideal & stance out there for the people to take in. They hope this song and it's video will enlighten some, and give support to others, in the ongoing debate about the Middle East.

LYRICS:
YOU SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN,
NEVER A MOMENT'S PEACE
THE HATRED THAT SURROUNDS YOU,
IS DEEPER THAN THE SEA
I KNOW THE WORLD'S AGAINST YOU,
BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE
YOU FIGHT TO SAVE YOUR PEOPLE,
YOU FIGHT TO SAVE YOUR HOME

HOLY PLACE, THE PROMISED LAND
WITH ISRAEL WE HAVE TO STAND
WE CAN'T FORSAKE THE CHOSEN FEW
ISRAEL WE STAND WITH YOU

FREEDOM HAS A BURDEN,
SO MANY LIVES WERE LOST
THE MILLIONS TAKEN FROM US,
WE WON'T FORGET THE HOLOCAUST
A PHARAOH COULD NOT HOLD YOU,
OR THE WALLS OF JERICHO
THE LORD ABOVE HAS BLESSED YOU,
WHERE THE MILK AND HONEY FLOWS

HOLY PLACE, THE PROMISED LAND
WITH ISRAEL WE HAVE TO STAND
WE CAN'T FORSAKE THE CHOSEN FEW
ISRAEL WE STAND WITH YOU

HOLY PEOPLE, PROMISED LAND
PROTECT THE SEED OF ABRAHAM
WE CAN'T FORSAKE THE LAND OF JEWS
ISRAEL WE STAND WITH YOU

[orlyao]

I do not understand ... You against Israel or with Israel?

[THEWRECKONINGBAND]

@orlyao I'm not sure if you are serious or being sarcastic. We are without a doubt FOR ISRAEL as the title of the song even says. We put the lyrics in the video, as well as in the information section below the video, so there would be no doubt as to our position. As the chorus says

"HOLY PLACE, THE PROMISED LAND, WITH ISRAEL WE HAVE TO STAND, WE CAN'T FORSAKE THE CHOSEN FEW, ISRAEL WE STAND WITH YOU"

Thanks for asking though so we could clarify! :-)
