The song describes the bombing of Gaza by Israeli military forces, with a blinding flash of light lighting up the sky as people ran for cover, not knowing if they were dead or alive. It depicts the destruction of mosques, homes, and schools by tanks, planes and fiery flames, while world leaders debated who was right or wrong. Through the tears, blood and pain, the voices of Gaza cry out that their spirit will never die and they will continue to fight back against the bombings and massacres night after night.
2. A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
3. We will not go down
In the night without a fight
You can burn up mosques
And our homes
And our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
4. Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears, and the blood, and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
5. We will not go down
In the night without a fight
You can burn up mosques
And our homes
And our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
