lyrics

(English translation below)
שלהבת-יה

מתק לשון
על הצואר
כתם כחול זה כל מה שנשאר

אין הודעות
שום טלפון
שקט שוקע כמו נר זיכרון

כי עזה כמוות אהבה
רשפיה רשפי אש שלהבת-יה
כי עזה כמוות אהבה
רשפיה רשפי אש שלהבת-יה

לחש תוסס
בעלטה
רק מתמוסס בזרועות הזריחה

עוד יום של כלום
עוד יום של ריק
אור לא יחדור אל הצל של ספק

כי עזה כמוות אהבה...

לקח מריר
לקח אחד
לב מתאהב לעולם לא ילמד

The Flame of God

The sweetness of a tongue
on your neck
a blue mark is all that remains

No messages
no phone calls
silence gutters like a memorial candle

For love is as bold as death
its flames are flames of fire the flame of God
For love is as bold as death
its flames are flames of fire the flame of God

A scintillating whisper
in the darkness
only melts in the arms of the sunrise

Another day of nothing
another day of empty
light cannot penetrate the shadow of doubt

For love is as bold as death…

A bitter lesson
one lesson
a heart that falls in love will never learn
