ויראה מלאך אדוני אליו, בליבת אש מתוך הסנה וירא והנה הסנה בוער באש והסנה איננו נאכל
('There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up' [Exodus 3:2])
I've learnt of brimstones
I've learnt of ambers
But a thing like this
Is far beyond what I've learnt to know
A sorcery of some origin
An ancient force
A flame that keeps to grow
Unburning flame
Undying knowledge
Inflamed can't be this fiery perception
Embrace the strength
Bow and acknowledge
To answer the uncalled Hebrew question
וירא ה' כי סר לראות, ויקרא אליו אלוהים מתוך הסנה
('When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush' [Exodus 3:4])
Recreating everything in every single word
In awe I knee before the ruler of the world
I'm but a shepherd, I cannot lead no man
I won't defy the voice, but I cannot understand
If truly you are God, If you can see inside my soul
Who am I to stand against the Pharaoh, and who am I at all?
Who am I at all?
On this forsaken mountain nothing is mundane
This voice is telling me of a land forgot by men
My lord has spoken true
His words sculpture my heart
The warrant is superb, indeed the high command
Even as a stammerer your distant voice be heard
Now I'll leave my home and gather all my herd
ועתה לך ואשלח את פרעה, והוצא את עמי בני ישראל ממצרים
('So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt' [Exodus 3:10])
Unresting fire, the sacred flame of God
From this moment on to you my lord I vow
A holy cleansing, secular shell being shed
As instant as a heartbeat - I'll follow his command
