《The Quest For The Latke Oil》歌词

[00:00:00] The Quest For The Latke Oil - Gods of Fire/Evan Shyer/Jason Shyer/Seth Diamond

[00:00:53] It was long ago in a village very far away

[00:01:02] When on Hanukkah eve there was little cause to celebrate

[00:01:12] For the oil that was needed for the lakte ritual

[00:01:17] Had been used up many weeks before

[00:01:23] The elders crushed the olives and hoped for a miracle

[00:01:27] But some brave men would have to venture out

[00:01:33] On a quest for the latke oil

[00:01:37] It's the quest for the latke oil

[00:01:42] It's the quest for the latke oil

[00:01:47] It's the quest for the latke oil

[00:01:52] The men who left upon this quest knew their battle lay ahead

[00:02:01] Just beyond the gates of town they heard the dragon's wail

[00:02:10] But if there was to be a Hanukkah that year

[00:02:15] This party would have to stop and pray

[00:02:19] For to venture to their neighbor's town for oil

[00:02:24] Then a dragon they would have to slay

[00:02:29] On their quest for the latke oil

[00:02:34] It's the quest for the latke oil

[00:02:38] It's the quest for the latke oil

[00:02:43] It's the quest for the latke oil

[00:02:57] Past the olive trees where the sirens sing their songs

[00:03:01] Where weaker men have faltered

[00:03:03] They have bravely moved along

[00:03:06] Past the den of nomad raiders

[00:03:08] Who would skin them for their gold

[00:03:11] And the poisonous spiders who would turn their flesh cold

[00:03:15] By the lake of untold beauty where a villager could bathe

[00:03:20] And enjoy the fragile landscapes

[00:03:22] That the Jews had fought to save

[00:03:24] With the magic of the season

[00:03:27] And the prayers they knew to say

[00:03:29] In their sights there was the dragon

[00:03:32] Standing in their way

[00:04:10] Woo woo woo woo

[00:04:35] In the end the dragon was defeated

[00:04:38] By the hands of their valiant leader

[00:04:41] Who prepared to deliver his deadly blow

[00:04:50] But one stood up against him and he asked

[00:04:55] What kind of example would they set

[00:04:58] For the children of their village

[00:05:12] There must be another way

[00:05:17] Can no more blood be spilled today

[00:05:21] Then the leader took his sword

[00:05:23] And thrust it in the ground

[00:05:25] And proclaimed in the name of God

[00:05:27] This dragon shall live This dragon shall live

[00:05:31] Now back to the village with our oil

[00:05:55] Later the men returned holding high the latke oil

[00:06:03] Knowing Hannukah was saved the whole town rejoiced

[00:06:12] The dragon in chains showed his gratitude

[00:06:16] To the village for sparing his life

[00:06:21] By torching the menorah candles aflame

[00:06:25] While the warriors laid down with their wives

[00:06:29] It was their quest for the latke oil

[00:06:34] It was their quest for the latke oil

[00:06:39] It's the quest for the latke oil

[00:06:43] It was their quest for the latke oil
