Haymanot

Haymanot (Ge'ez: ሃይማኖት) is the branch of Judaism practiced by the Beta Israel.

Haymanot in both Ge'ez and Amharic is the regular word meaning "religion" or "faith". Thus in modern Amharic, it is common to speak of the Christian Haymanot, the Jewish Haymanot or the Muslim Haymanot. It is also a common girl's name meaning "Faith" for members of all three religions in Ethiopia. It is only in Israel where the Ge'ez term haymanot is associated with a particular religion.

The holiest book is the Orit (from Aramaic "Oraita" - "Torah") which consists of the Five Books of Moses and the books Joshua, Judges and Ruth. The rest of the Bible has secondary importance. The Book of Lamentations is not part of the canon.

    Hurricane Streets

    by: Hey Monday

    The storm is rushing on me
    Here's the flood flash
    I feel so locked and loaded
    Let me out, let me out
    Wake up in a wasteland
    Where the trees are crashing fast
    Make or break or the road explodes
    Get out, get out of this town
    Live faster, live stronger
    Let us speed up or get blown over
    Time's wasting, how much longer
    Before I get myself free
    Of these hurricane streets?
    Headed for disaster
    Way beyond the fear
    In the rear view, watch it all
    Just disappear, disappear
    I don't care where I'm headed
    Anywhere but here
    Won't waste my life
    Can't waste another night
    In this town, this town
    Live faster, live stronger
    Let us speed up or get blown over
    Time's wasting, how much longer
    Before I get myself free
    Of these hurricane?
    Leaves are blowing down the streets
    Wind crawling up our knees
    Somebody get the keys
    Rain is flowing from the sky
    But no fear in our eyes, we're ready to fly
    Live faster, live stronger
    Let us speed up or get blown over
    Time's wasting, how much longer
    Before I get myself free
    Of these hurricane streets?
    Live faster, live stronger
    Let us speed up or get blown over
    Time's wasting, how much longer
    Before I get myself free
    Of these hurricane streets?
