The cedar wood that came here one day

That helped us build the pyramid that stay

If history is a tree we are the roots

But it seems prayers don't guard the fruits

The Nile once carried what Beirut would give

A trade of timber so that stone could live

We carved our gods from what the mountain grew

Now the mountain's burning and the river's through

Who guards the garden when the gardener bleeds

Who reads the scripture when no one reads

We built for forever but we break in a day

The oldest of stories with nothing to say

Isis spread her wings across the sand

Horus held the sky with half a hand

But the cedar fell where no god could reach

And the sermon drowned before it made the speech

الْزَّيْت بِالْبَرْمِيل وِالدَّم يِمْلَا النِّيل

يِمْلَا الْأَرْض طُول وْعَرْض

وَاااااوف اااااوف اااااوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

They say the pyramids were built to last

But nobody asked about the forest's past

The ships that sailed the logs that crossed the sea

Lebanon and Egypt have history

Who guards the garden when the gardener bleeds

Who reads the scripture when no one reads

We built for forever but we break in a day

The oldest of stories with nothing to say

So You hear my cry

Taste those tears off my eye

Am sure You hear my prayers

And hug our souls as they die

I believe I believe and I won't ask why

But please I beg answer that mom's cry

She lost her child and she don't know why

But please but please just one more why

Those children who never told their dad goodbye

Am sorry Almighty just one more why

Why do we have blood not gas or oil

Maybe then we would've stayed up soil

But please I beg answer that mom's cry

She lost her child and she don't know why

But please but please just one more why

Those children who never told their dad goodbye

Am sorry Almighty just one more why

Am sorry am sorry we know Thou art fair

We just have to be patient wait and stare

الْزَّيْت بِالْبَرْمِيل وِالدَّم يِمْلَا النِّيل

يِمْلَا الْأَرْض طُول وْعَرْض

وَاااااوف اااااوف اااااوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

Put your differences aside

Infinite power can't take sides

You made us all equal so you said

In paper on rock in heart and head

But wait we are

but we choose to rely on what's far

On what we can't see so can't measure

On patience so you can wait for treasure

And wait and wait and wait and wait

And others keep you dumb dumbs on your gate

Believe in fate so they set your fate

They rule your fate and decide your fate

الْزَّيْت بِالْبَرْمِيل وِالدَّم يِمْلَا النِّيل

يِمْلَا الْأَرْض طُول وْعَرْض

وَاااااوف اااااوف اااااوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف

لَا عَدْل وَلَا خُوف
