King who murdered, pain forever, pain forever

The blood he spilled, Jerusalem, Jerusalem
So many killed, gone all of them, gone all of them
Who then? Antiochus, Antiochus
[Verse 4]
Our hearts he broke, he burned the Torah, burned the Torah
Ash and smoke, the crushеd menorah, crushed menorah
Who thеn? Antiochus, Antiochus

Arise our hero, Judah save us, Judah save us
Prize so dear, the victory gave us, freedom gave us
Who then? Macabeus, Macabeus
[Verse 6]
Oh sing our songs and praise the Torah, praise the Torah
Right the wrongs and light menorah, light menorah
When then? Chanukah, Chanukah
