Genesis 34 

Verse 1

In the land of Canaan, a tale unfolds,

Dinah, daughter of Leah, bold,

Ventured forth to see the land,

Unaware of the fate at hand.

 

Chorus

Oh, Dinah, sweet Dinah,

In the fields of Shechem, lost in time,

Oh, Dinah, sweet Dinah,

Caught in a web, a tragic rhyme.

 

Verse 2

Shechem, prince of the land, took her by force,

His heart desired her, no remorse,

Jacob's sons were filled with rage,

A storm was brewing, hard to gauge.

 

Bridge

Promises were made in the heat of the night,

Circumcision agreed, a deceptive light,

A plan conceived in the brothers' minds,

Retribution brewing, dark designs.

 

Verse 3

On the third day, weak and sore,

Simeon and Levi struck with more,

The city of Shechem felt their wrath,

No one was spared on their vengeful path.

 

Chorus

Oh, Dinah, sweet Dinah,

In the fields of Shechem, lost in time,

Oh, Dinah, sweet Dinah,

Caught in a web, a tragic rhyme.

 

Verse 4

Jacob, their father, feared reprisal near,

"Why have you brought this trouble here?"

But the sons stood firm in their stand,

"Should he treat our sister like a band?"

 

Outro

So the tale of Dinah, forever told,

A story of honor, fierce and bold,

In the lands of Canaan, echoes remain,

Of love, betrayal, and brothers' disdain.

 

Chorus

Oh, Dinah, sweet Dinah,

In the fields of Shechem, lost in time,

Oh, Dinah, sweet Dinah,

Caught in a web, a tragic rhyme.

 

Outro

In the annals of time, this story lies,

A chapter of sorrow beneath the skies,

Oh, Dinah, sweet Dinah, your name we sing,

In the winds of history, let it ring.
