about

In this song, we hear the perspective of a certain villain in Judaic history, the first villain to call for a genocide of all the Jews. This was after a Jewish leader refused to bow down to him as Jews do not idolize any person or object other than their one G-d. The story speaks of the
villian, Haman, filling with rage “Yeemaleh Hema”. You find similar themes to many different tyrants in the lyrics. Including ones currently holding very powerful offices...

lyrics

Verse 1

You know I am a man of virtue
Believe me, I never lie
I’ll strive to make us great again
You can trust me, little Rabbi

Not phony, fake but frankly
I ask you see me eye to eye
Prostrate yourself and family
To your country, and to I

Chorus 1

Bow down, bow down
Bow down, bow down
Bow down, bow down
Bow down, bow down

Verse 2

Here, Like a cancer, I cradled you
Like a rumor, I helped you grow
Like a leech, I nourished you
Yet you stand, riot in tableau

Do you not see your fault?
Is this how I'm repaid?
How I try to save you from your sins
This is where I'm betrayed?

Chorus 2

Bow down, don’t you dare to rise
Made glorious, ratified
Xerxes, kingly bona fide
Not one soul more dignified

Verse 3 (Pre-Bridge)

You’re a fool
With narcissistic eyes
Reverence as your tool
Silence as your knife

A Tremendous loser
Just a Yuge Lie
I’ll build a Great Wall and from it
Hang you and your pride


Bridge
Yeemaleh Hema x 4

Chorus 3

Bow down, don’t you dare to rise
Made glorious, ratified
Xerxes, kingly bona fide
Not one soul more dignified
Burn, broadcast nationwide
Make technicolor genocide
Curl, my words around your throat
“The Final Solution”, to this turncoat
