Faith and confusion upon a gritty postmodern urban Jewish landscape. Mixed motives: selfless, self-actualizing service, passion blazing, precipice of devastation. Heroism vs. Corruption. Cry from the desert.
lyrics
As you got married on a Tuesday
The city burned no guests could come
A great idea use the memory of that suffering
To build a place for Jews to come
Filled with bittersweet nostalgia
Tempered with a decorative touch
All the cats on the prowl for something or other
While you long to make that kitten blush
Although the tunnel keeps on narrowing
I see it widen up ahead
Emuna
It's Disconcerting
How long have I been sleeping
Set up the vibe for the evening
A wood reed whispers on your tongue
Were you the one responsible for bringing
That lecher to these hallowed halls
By Yud Sh'vat you’re so strung out
You're breaking all the old taboos
What won’t girls do when inspired by a holy brother
Well there’s one waiting right here for you
Although the tunnel keeps on narrowing
I see it widen up ahead
