Songs

The song Brother is a ballad that discusses the relationship between Isaac and Ishmael. it is also based about the belief in the Islam that the child that was sacrificed on Temple Mount was Ishmael and not Isaac as believed in Judaism. it is expressed in the line ?That kid on the mountain, what was his name?. The song is written from the point of view of one brother (Isaac) who writes a letter that forgives the other brother (Ishmael) for becoming enemies.

The lyrics of the song Let the Truce Be Known was inspired from the story of the Christmas truce in World War I which in it the soldiers celebrated together Christmas and the day after, they returned to kill each other. The song was composed along with the Israeli artist, Kobi Aflalo.

The Song Shamaim (In English: Sky, In Hebrew: שמיים) was written by the Israeli artist Yehuda Poliker, and it combines elements and concepts that were in the band's previous albums. the song is a closing cycle for the band, mostly because the band's name is taken from Poliker's song "Winds of War" (רוחות מלחמה).

The song Our Own Messiah contains a verse from the Jewish prayer, Avinu Malkeinu.
