Spin For The Blood Of Our Elders - Gods of Fire/Evan Shyer/Jason Shyer/Seth Diamond/Chris Coluzzi/Doug Fallone/Justin Starr/John McDonough

In the second century BC

Judah and his Maccabees led a revolt

Against the evil ruler King Antiochus

Who forced the Jews to kneel before Zeus

Outraged the Maccabees fought many battles

Lost many men but eventually restored

The glory of the second temple back to Jerusalem

Triumphant and proud

Judah forged the first dreidel as a reminder of these dark days

And commanded his people to go forth throughout the villages

Of the world to spin their mighty dreidels

Once a year to remember their victory

And so we sing

Forged from fire clay and steel in the tradition of the elders

Who battled to be free Yeah yeah

Brave warriors the Maccabees want you to spin this day

Hold your dreidels high then spin them on the ground

Keep it up the longest to make your elders proud

Spin the dreidel on this Hanukkah day

To keep the twisted beasts of hell away

And so we Spin For the blood of our Spin

For the blood of our Spin

For the blood of our elders Spin

Spin For the blood of our Spin

For the blood of our Spin

For the blood of our elders Spin

Let the mighty hammer of the Maccabees

Fall upon the heads of those who will not Spin

And so we

Spin To remember the miracles

Impress the pretty girls

For all the glory

It's your destiny

To remember the miracles

Impress the pretty girls

For all the glory

It's your destiny

Spin For the blood of our Spin

For the blood of our Spin

For the blood of our elders Spin

Spin For the blood of our Spin

For the blood of our Spin

For the blood of our elders Spin

Let the mighty hammer of the Maccabees

Fall upon the heads of those who will not Spin

Let the mighty hammer of the Maccabees

Fall upon the heads of those who will not Spin
