This song goes out to Ahmed. The Jews don't fear you. We fear God. We don't give a damn about your evil plans. Cuz no man can stand up against God's hand. Not the first to curse us. Won't be the last. And if I were you, I would learn from the past. Many came before you to do us wrong. But they're all long gone and we still stand strong. In ancient Iran lived a man named Hamman who rose in the capital of Shushine. When he walked down the street, every man he would meet was commanded to bow to the ground at his feet. But there was one guy named Morai, a Jew who served only God most high. And day after day, he refused to obey. So Hermon decided he would make him pay. But it wasn't enough just to kill one man. Instead, he devised a grandmaster plan and persuaded the king to kill every Jew from the land of Kushar. The way to hold do drew random lots to determine the date. Put our people's lives in the hands of fate. And it fell on the 13th day of a dar. They would slay every Jew both near and far. When we heard the news, we wept and fasted. Sackcloth and ashes spread through the masses. We turn to Hashem all of Israel. Pray that the wicked Han would fail. This song goes out to Ahmed. The Jews don't fear you. We fear God. We don't give a damn about your evil plans. Cuz no man could stand up against God's hand. Not the first to curse us. Won't be the last. And if I were you, I would learn from the past. Many came before you to do us wrong. But they're all long gone. And we still stand strong. A man just could not wait for the day that the Jewish people would meet their fate. Cuz every day he saw Morai at the gate and his heart was filled with so much hate. When he complained to his friends and his wife, they told her just take that Jew's life. So he built the gallows 50 almost high and tried to have the king hang more. But the queen secretly turned out to be a girl from a nice Jewish family as she came into the king told him that someone was trying to wipe out her kin. Enraged anyone would threaten the life of those close to the woman he chose as a wife. The king asked her who's behind this plan. She replied this wicked hermon is the man. He trembled in tear. He lost control. He begged queen Esther to spare his soul.
