SALEM Ha'ayara Bo'eret

שריפה, אחים שריפה! עיירתנו בוערת כולה, בה רוחות שחורות יסערו, להבות חורבן יבערו, עקבותיה לא נשארו, היא עולה באש, ואתם חובקים ידיים בלי הושיט עזרה בלי כבות את אש הלהב אש העיירה.

שריפה, אחים שריפה! רק בידכם בלבד היא העזרה, חיש הושיטו יד אוהבת והצילו מהמוות, בדמכם כבו שלהבת, חיש כבו בדם מרחוק אל תעמדו,כי האש עולה, אל נא תחבקו ידיים, השריפה גדולה!

שריפה, אחים שריפה! קרובה חס וחלילה השעה, כי הלהבות יתמידו, את כולנו פה ישמידו, רק שרידי קירות יעידו מה שפה היה, ואתם חובקים ידיים, בלי הושיט עזרה, בלי כבות את אש הלהב, אש העיירה.

The original yiddish text the song is based on:

Quotes'brent! briderlekh, s'brent!
   oy, undzer orem shtetl nebekh brent!
   beyze vintn mit yirgozn

   mit farleygte hent.
   un ir shteyt un kukt azoy zikh-
   undzer shtetl brent!

   shteyt nit, brider, lesht dos fayer-
   undzer shtetl brent!
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Wolves in the Throne Room - Vastness And Sorrow

I really like that album. And the new <code> album.

It's abso-fucking-lutely awesome. Not so psyched about Black Cascade, but it's still good.

Not sure what I think of the rest of the album, but this (and Rake) rock.  They are really at their best when they get semi-Hard Rock.

I really like the album, one of my favourites of the year so far. Took me a few a listens through the album before it clicked with me though. Love the parts with the Forest Queen. The singer playing her sounds a lot like PJ Harvey.
