Nemeses

Philistine,
You lost your honor to a boy of thirteen
Out there in the desert
Where the midday sun beats a man unrelentingly

Amen

Levantine,
The games your children play seem very obscene
They kill what they don’t understand
Always enemies

Amen

Always enemies
Always nemeses

Philistine,
You lost your armor but you kept your spleen
Out there in the desert
Where the hallowed sands bury pride so thoroughly

Amen

Levantine,
The ark is missing as it's always been
The truth lay buried in its grave
Painted with the gold of the pharisees

Amen

Always enemies
Always nemeses
