lyrics

Once we witnessed a storm
Rise and fall, illusion of greatness
Mystery deceived our eyes
Blood and gore with vengeance in sight

Confused we wandered
Seeking peace
Divide and conquer

A voice from a distant land
A mist of cold and dissent
To tame us all
And rise again

We travelled through time
We saw the great ones fall
Grace and strength together

Stare at stars
Glare till they fall apart
Sacrifice
Revive us

The wise man spoke to us
Oh keep your faith
Believers in ignorance

Saw them rule us all
Saw them crawl
Divided they fall
Together they stand

Jihad is the only option we have left
Dignity or what’s left of it to be saved
The leaders we follow are filth
Time for scum to be slayed

Lost souls wander for shelter from
Skies that rain fire
Forsaken in a land of broken dreams
Time is not on our side
