Hold On, Not So Fast...

A year has passed,
you think we'd forget, 
hold on... not so fast...

The blood is still fresh; 
it wasn't rocks and stones
but baby flesh!!

A year has passed, 
you think we'd heal;
hold on... not so fast...

As if death wasn't enough,
a year of famine and strife.
Well, starving children... 
you think that makes you tough?

A year has passed;
you think they'd regret?
Hold on... not so fast...

Their conscience is dead,
they who slaughter angels... 
Simply, go to bed!!

A year has passed,
you think they'd wake up?
Hold on... not so fast...

The demons stroke,
we thought they'd provoke
a sort of life
in those lifeless folks!!
Those called Arabs...those next door...

A year has passed,
you think Santa will come?
Hold on... not so fast...

A snake like wall,
a fresh new gate;
Come, one God, damn it!! 
Wake up!! Don't swallow the bait!!
They ain't gonna give you no state!!
Don’t argue!! Don’t debate!!
They will never end their hate!!
Are you really comfortable with the wait?!
A never-ending wait for an empty plate!!
Don’t tell me it's fate!! 
It’s cowardliness!! It’s disgrace!!

A year has passed,
you think they'd repent?
Hold on... not so fast...

A massacre at sunrise;
now Nablus is their prize.
Three roses slaughtered
by creeps with snake eyes;
believe me, 
I don't have to demonize...

A week has passed… 
You think we'd forgive?
Hold on... not so fast...

Oh, hold on, not so fast!! 
Oh, hold on, not so fast!!
