Why are the Men Crying?
from the album
Moments with Allah (God)
Under these white coverings, I listen to them
all this shouting...these are tears for my family
Those who came crying for their only son
The shock came to me
don't ask me why
it always hits unexpectedly
my heart stops slowly
I did not hear its palputation
time stops, there is no escape
Why are all these tears necessary?
Why do we need all this drama?
The time has come to put down the weapons
Has my life been filled with good?
The colours have gone, as for now
I am very close to the distant journey
Why are the men dying?
Why are the men crying?
Why is there all this sadness?
Why are we scared to this degree?
Let us all come together to pray my brothers
let us pray to the White Light
let us in the end follow the straight path
let us complete our future
Why are the men crying?
Why are the men crying?
Why is there all this sadness?
We are we scared to this degree?
let us all pray then my brothers
let us pray to the Light
let us give the happiness to those who will be coming
let us direct their steps hand in hand
father
the time has come
nobody warned me
Did you live in harmony?
Were you a good preacher?
Were you in good care?
to protect all my family
my family...I gathered them
who is around me and they prayed together
I feel their hot breathing that touches me
my friends are carrying me on their shoulders
nobody hears me...understands me
I put me down with care
Until we meet again, all my brothers
they are covering me with this dust
so I will rest alone
nay it is the critical time
Why are the men dying?
Why are the men crying?
Why is there all this sadness?
We are we scared to this degree?
come let us all pray my brothers
let us pray to the White Light
let us follow the straight path in the end
let us complete our future
Why are the men dying?
Why are the men crying?
Why is there all this sadness?
We are we scared to this degree?
let us all pray then my brothers
let us pray to the Light
let us give the happiness to those who will come
let us direct their steps hand in hand
