𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥

Your enemies, your fortress they surround.
So you must hone your wits, plan your defence;
Make sure your strategies are sure and sound.
Your enemies, your fortress they surround;
So be prepared to hold your precious ground,
And then attack, to gain your recompense.
Your enemies, your fortress they surround;
So you must hone your wits, plan your defence.

𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞

The short gay Irishman named Joyce,
He has a quite annoying voice.
The faith of footballer Israel,
Joyce says is way beyond the pale.
(It’s not a trendy “lifestyle choice”).

Exit Israel

What’s written in the Bible, Israel said.
And so the rugby priests have banned Folau.
It wasn’t some satanic verse he’d read —
What’s written in the Bible, Israel said.
And just for that the priests will have his head.
For blasphemy the priests will not allow.
What’s written in the Bible, Israel said.
And so the rugby priests have banned Folau.
