- Half Light
Half Light is a symphonic heavy metal band that blends the best of worlds from black, thrash and power
metal with the dramatic sound of a symphonic orchestra.
Debuting last year om May first with the single ”Steadfast” for the very first edition of this competition.
Half light returns this year with the song ”From the wounds emerges Ressistance…!”
A more refined sound. The drums are faster, the voclas angrier and the orchestra even more bombastic.
And the lyrics just as last year is about Palestine. As long as there is occupation there will be continus
releases of ressistance music from this artist!
Long live Palestine!
My song is about resistance. Short and simple. About how it’s not as portrayed in western media, where
more or less every act that goes against American interests, is labeled as ”terrorism”. Resisting against your
oppressors isn’t ”terrorism”, it’s normal, it’s human, it is in fact survival. I chose to start my song with a
quote from martyred resistance leader Yahya Sinwar, since i think that his quote from the last interview he
participated in sums it up fairly well. ”Does the world expect us to be well-behaved victims?”. That paints a
very accurate portrait of how western liberal, self-proclaimed ”pro-Palestine” actors sometimes talk. Where
they say to support Palestine but still condemn the resistance. In practice they lend their so-called support
but only on their own terms. ”You must do everything according to my personal taste, or you are a
terrorist”. This is no way to talk about humans who for over 76 years have suffered systematic oppression
in all of its forms. My song is very much aimed at this problem, if you ever catch yourself thinking like that,
how about you put yourself in their shoes. What would you have done? Would you have just laid down and
died so some random ”liberal” on the other side of the world wouldn’t call you a terrorist? Or would you
resist?
Song Title: From the wounds emerges… Resistance!
From the wounds emerges… Resistance! – Half Light
(In Arabic)
”What are we supposed to do? Should we raise the white flag? That’s not going to happen.
Does the world expect us to be well-behaved victims while we’re getting killed?
For us to be slaughtered without making a noise? That’s impossible.
We decided to defend our people with whatever weapons we have.”
Over 18 months, of genocide…
No white flags in sight!
These people they will never be broken
For resistance is to survive
When existence is resistance itself
And nothing’s stronger than a will to live
Against any odds, or by any means
Have you ever seen, your family killed?
Or your home destroyed?
From the wounds
Emerges
Resistance…!
Face to face with genocide
Backed by all of western might
From the wounds
Emerges
Resistance…!
(a word of warning…)
Whether by sticks or stones
We’ll always, remain defiant!
For if you’re born in Palestine, just breathing
Is an act of defiance!
With generations erased
Bombed in their tents
Or buried in rubble
And still you dare to call them ”terrorists”
Well have you ever seen, your family killed?
Or your home destroyed?
From the wounds
Emerges
Resistance…!
Face to face with genocide
Backed by all of western might
From the wounds
Emerges
Resistance…!
So hold the key close to your chest
For you’ll be home soon (you’ll be home soon…)
The occupation will fall
It will all be gone soon (all be gone soon…)
So hold the key close to your chest
for you’ll be home soon (you’ll be home soon…)
For once you’ve seen your family killed.
And your home destroyed
From the wounds
Emerges
Resistance…!
Face to face with genocide
Backed by all of western might
From the wounds
Emerges
Resistance…!
