Lyrics

When dusk descends on a crimson sky, when truth reveals a million lies, from the ashes there will rise, a phoenix once was Palestine.Take their lives, take their homes, steal their land, break their bones.Kill those babies' silent screams, no more children's broken dreams, no more mothers, no more fathers.
Where's our Palestinian brothers? Just go on, you're raging ravage, it's just your collateral damage.
Never look back, just part of your plan. Selling your souls, the world's gone cold.
When dusk descends on a crimson sky, when truth reveals a million lies, from the ashes there will rise, a phoenix once was Palestine.
Occupying demon eyes, human freedom you deny, then our people you decide, starving torture once with pride, taking over colonize, stand upon that broken child, where's your conscience, where's your honor? Cowardly you run for cover, underneath your Kevlar armor, from a child with sticks and rubber, in his heart he holds a fire, all he knows is this is Gaza, home he loves, can't run away, while genocide is taking place.
When dusk descends on a crimson sky, when truth reveals a million lies, from the ashes there will rise, a phoenix once was Palestine.
Normalize, hypothesize, but you're the victim every time. Build your walls with rock and stone, hide behind your iron dome. Make your victims terrorists, sell your lies so ludicrous. Leaders show their ignorance, all yellow bellies impotent, but there's no peace but what justice brings, and freedom is so imminent.
When dusk descends on a crimson sky, when truth reveals a million lies, from the ashes there will rise, a phoenix once was Palestine.
Yakin doa didengar, harapan kekal bersinar, relba hati dengan pasti, meniti hari yang getir, semua kan pasti berakhir, ujung yang indah menanti.
Ketika senja bias terlemisi, kalah terserlah cinta rasa, dari debukan kembali, nafas keberpasan tunai.
طلعنا على أرض صامدق، لآخر نقطة دم فروح، لآخر نفس فيا، حللنا صامدين.
هل قد بتحبي فلسطين؟
هل قد؟ أطفال فلسطين ما بتخلوش عنها. زي ما حكت لي أبو هنية، أنا دم فلسطين، أنا دم فلسطين.
بحب بحكيلكم، راحت علينا السنة الدراسية في قطاع غزة.
نستفدنا أعلى الدرجات في الصبر والقوة والتحدي والثبات.
أننا نلنا شرف الدفاع عن الوطن، بسم الله ونعم الوكيل.
When dusk descends on a crimson sky, when truth reveals a million lies, from the ashes there will rise, a phoenix once was Palestine.
