God has gifted you with much talent. The voice was probably His way of keeping you humble.

It didn’t work. ;^)
Thank you, here’s my suggestion:
The Jews of Medina took you in
Lest before the L-rd they sin
But gratitude is not a part of your heart.
You took their arms, their wealth, their land
Killed all of those who’d make a stand
Punctuating each demand “Allah akbar!â€
Allah akbar...
Allah akbar...
Allah akbar...
Allah akbar
The Towers burned and quickly fell
Turned New York into a Hell
Three thousand lives extinguished by your hatred.
In the streets you cheered and cried
Laughing as the people died
From the rooftops you replied “Allah akbar!â€
[chorus]
The relics of a bygone age
Filled you with a jealous rage
Reminding you that you had fallen so far.
The beauty you could not create
You’d burn and crush and desecrate
Destroying with a bitter “Allah akbar!â€
[chorus]
You loved death, but they loved life
And so your children took the knife
The hatred in their souls as black as coal tar.
The innocent they then struck down
The blood was spilled on holy ground
Murdered to the sound of “Allah akbar!â€
One of my favorite songs and composers. There is a special place in hell.... :-)
Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble.
Very interesting suggestions. I quite like “But gratitude is not a part of your heart..”
My problem with song was less the rhythm than the key and the range. C Major is not my best key, but when I tried transposing the instrumental parts they didn’t sound right.
“There is a special place in hell.... :-)”
Agree-—and before they go I hope they’re listening to “Who by Fire?” with Cohen himself singing.
:-)
.
:^D
Allow them to pick the manner of their exit :-)
Thank you for pinging your list!
Feel free to use whatever you want. I think what you’re doing is awesome and I’m just happy to help even if it’s just moral support!
Mears and I may have crashed your party, but you could have left us in a corner to play by ourselves instead of doing THAT.
Brave effort...you da man.
Just watch your back, as those you sing about would deprive you of EVERYTHING!
You’re welcome.
They’re patient and forgiving when I wander around the internet. ... Thus far.
The muzzies can wait there turn. We Cohen fans get first go.
Good lord,if anything will make me be good for the rest of my life,that will.
Hell is worse than I thought-—even the nuns kept this from us.
(Those little gals could use Weight Watchers)
.
It builds character.
At this point I think they’re grandmothers. Or no longer with us.
