To Beirut From my heart a greeting to Beirut, And kisses to the sea and the houses, To the rock which resembles an old seaman’s face She is the fermented spirit of a nation She is from my sweat and toil, she is made of bread and jasmine, So how come it now tastes of fire and smoke To Beirut, A glory made of ashes to Beirut, From a blood of a child carried on her hands My city has turned out its candles She has closed its door She is all by herself at night Alone at night To Beirut From my heart a greeting to Beirut, And kisses to the sea and the houses To the rock which resembles an old seaman’s face You are mine, you are mine Oh, embrace me, you are mine My flag and the rock, tomorrow and the waves of a journey The wounds of my nation have turned into flowers The tears of mothers have turned into flowers You, Beirut, are mine Oh, embrace me. ========================= English translation by:

You grew up in a giant house, with chandeliers, atomic clocks So you were always right on time, with bow tie, tux and leather shoes Played in your backyard labyrinth, composed of white rose bushes Graduated North Star Prep, class of 2089 You ate fancy food, truffles and wiggling oysters Were in a strange, strange mood lit up by stained-glass windows With Jesus staring down at you, on a cross, naked and starving In your starched Calvin Klein suit, in freshly polished leather shoes Hey I wanna throw it all away With a shiny, sparkling, clean slate Hey, I wanna throw it all away I never liked Bruce Wayne Was it the Sibyl who said we'd die by what could save us Whether space travel or Christ, it's all just what you make it You gave your estate to the alcoholic homeless at Dover Beach Joined the Star Alliance, got baptized in the ghetto's streets Hey I wanna throw it all away With a shiny, sparkling, clean slate Hey, I wanna throw it all away I never liked Bruce Wayne Hey, I wanna throw it all away Today's a brand new day

about

To Be Released Sept 10th.

All the proceeds from this disc will go towards the London2Calais initiative, which benefits refugees in the Calais refugee camp in France. The French government isn't offering the refugees adequate aid, and the London2Calais initiative gathers funds to buy food and water for the refugees in need, and transports it over the border bringing it into the camps.
