This is the Holocaust
Back

Songs Lyrics

I was tending my garden - I was plucking out the weeds
Wanted a basket of fruit to take withme when I leave
Never thought I'd be wiped out by an early winter frost
You know, I thought this was the redemption but I was wrong - this is the Holocaust

I was following a road that was dangerous they said
But I knew the L-rd would protect me - at least that's what He said
Sure enough He came and then I was double-crossed
I said, I thought this was the redemption He said no - this is the Holocaust

I was directing the travellers who had strayed far from home
Preparing them for the King who soon would sit on the throne
Never thought I'd have to tell them children im sorry but im lost
I thought this was the redemption but I was wrong - this is the Holocaust

But children don't you worry - it's not the very end
After the storm will fall - we'll rebuild our home again

It's written all hope must be lost before the king finally returns
This must be the hardest lesson I believe I've ever learned
Thought things would be different - the sea would part and we would cross
I really thought this was the redemption but I was wrong - this is the Holocaust

Well there was one who came to warn us - to prepare us for the storm
But you slandered him and said you wish he never had been born
Well now you'll see the tidal wave you made - into it you'llbe tossed
Though you could have brought redemption - you gave birth to the Holocaust

Well it's a sin to decieve someone but a crime to decieve yourself
There ain't no rosy picture now - no one to guard your wealth
The one you thought that you could buy - well now he's going to be your boss
Though you could have brought redemption - instead you brought the Holocaust

It's written all hope must be lost before the king finally returns
This must be the hardest lesson I believe I've ever learned
Thought things would be different - the sea would part and we would cross
I really thought this was the redemption but I was wrong - this is the Holocaust

But children don't you worry - it's not the very end
After the storm will fall - we'll rebuild our home again
