As you're crippling with fear for the blade as it's drawing near |
|
You stare up to the sky and it is silent. |
|
For this is the kind of creator you follow. |
|
One who wears a mask and inside is hollow. |
|
Three empty sects for this one misread book |
|
To date there have been millions of lives that this leader has shook. |
|
But for an entire population that lives with the sand, |
|
They die day by day with their blood on the land. |
|
Children are accustomed to bombs being dropped and shots being fired. |
|
Wondering everyday "will this be the day I catch a stray?" |
|
Catastrophic explosions are set off daily, |
|
Religious extremist are taking their teachings and trying to dismantle the system they live in |
|
Along with taking the lives of their kin, because they don't follow the teachings they are living with sin. |
|
Driving along, just like everyone else. |
|
Unloading a clip into the group next to them. |
|
Following the crash, they get out of the car. |
|
To finish the job, they unload one more. |
|
Imagine what it's like to live every day in fear. |
|
To be put to death for what you hold dear. |
|
A knife to your throat or a bullet in your head, |
|
Because you followed the wrong prophet and were mislead. |
|
They won't stop. |
|
The killing it won't stop. |
|
Thousands of years. |
|
So many lives in vain |
|
We are in debt and look up to the peaceful prophet |
|
So many lies we have been fed |
|
Until we are finally dead. |
