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 baby silent screams, no more children's broken dreams, no more mothers, no more fathers, where's our Palestinian brothers? Just go on your 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. Occupied and demonized, human freedom you deny, then our people you decide, starve and torture once with pride, taking over colonized, 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. We were born on the land of the sky, to the last drop of blood in our souls, to the last breath in us, we were born in a box. Do you love Palestine? Yes, I love it. Palestinian children do not give up on it, as the Romanian said, I am always Palestinian, I am always Palestinian. I want to tell you, we lost a year of study in the Gaza Strip, but we took the highest degrees in patience, strength, challenge, and steadfastness, because we are building honor, defending the homeland, and Allah is the greatest. When dusk descends on a crimson sky, when truth reveals a million lies, from the ashes there will rise a phoenix once was Palestine. 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 baby silent screams, no more children's broken dreams, no more mothers, no more fathers, where's our Palestinian brothers? Just go on your 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. Occupied and demonized, human freedom you deny, then our people you decide, starving torture once were pride, taking over colonized, 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. We were raised to live like the poor, from nothing in the sky of the oppressors, we rise and rise, we strive, we sacrifice our souls in the hunt, and our souls are not living. When dusk descends on a crimson sky, when truth reveals a million lies, from the ashes there will rise a phoenix once was Palestine. We were raised to live like the poor, from nothing in the sky of the oppressors, we rise and rise, we sacrifice our souls in the hunt, and our souls are not living. We were raised to live like the poor, from nothing in the sky of the oppressors, we rise and rise, we sacrifice our souls in the hunt, and our souls are not living.
