Heavy Metal vs. Holocaust Denial
This is the U.S. metal
band Disturbed, the bald guy is David Draiman, who's Jewish, and whose
father, Yehuda
Draiman, is running for Mayor of Los Angeles in the 2013
election. In 2010, Disturbed released their albumAsylum,
which featured the song "Never Again". Draimanexplainedthat
it's "about the Holocaust and the people who deny it, like
Ahmadinejad. And part of our live show includes a video presentation
depicting him as the new Hitler."
Below are the lyrics to
the song, and the only part I'll comment on, is the line:"For
the countless souls who died, their voices fill this night", I was
under the impression that the count was "six million," I thought
everyone knew that.
Never again
Never again
They have a frightening
desire for genocide
They wouldn't stop 'til
what was left of my family died
Hell bent on taking over
the world
You couldn't hide in the
shout of conformity
We can't forget how we
were devastated by the beast
And now we pleaded with
the captors for release
We were hunted for no
reason at all
One of the darkest times
in our history
All that I have left
inside is a soul that's filled with pride
I tell you never again,
oh
In a brave society,
didn't end up killing me
Scream with me, never
again, not again, no
A generation that was
persecuted endlessly
Exterminated by the Nazi
war machine
We will remember, let
the story be told
To realize how we lost
our humanity
You dare to
tell me that there never was a Holocaust
You think
that history will leave the memory lost
Another
Hitler using fear to control
You're gonna
fail this time for the world to see
All that I have left
inside is a soul that's filled with pride
I tell you never again,
oh
In a brave society,
didn't end up killing me
Scream with me, never
again, not again, no
All that I have left
inside is a soul that's filled with pride
I tell you never again,
oh
In a brave society,
didn't end up killing me
Scream with me, never
again, oh
For the countless souls
who died, their voices fill this night
Sing with me, never
again, oh
They aren't lost, you
see, the truth will live in me
