How are the Mighty Fallen?

David
The beauty and glory of Israel
Are senselessly slain, are surely destroyed
Cut down in the mountains, the noblest of evils
The sword far too swiftly employed
How are the mighty fallen?
How are the mighty fallen?

The many who persecute Israel
Must never rejoice, take heart, must not earn
One fragment of comfort from knowing the lions
Have stumbled and will not return.

And may the very mountains and fields close over
The rusting weapons of war...

Daughters of saturnine Israel
Weep for the king who colored your lives
In gold and in scarlet, and weep for his children
Jonathon... Jonathon...
Who loved me more bravely than you, whether harlots or wives!

How are the mighty fallen?
