Lyrics

Where are the kings of old? Where are the gods? They sat upon a mighty throne. Where's their arrogance gone? To dust, to dust, to dust. Where is the rejected one, so tall in question why? He thought that he was better than clay, for he was made of fire. Respect, respect, respect. But Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains. Everything we cherish, every test and pain, everything we try to gain, everything we stay away, everything will perish, but Allah remains. Where are all the tyrants gone, those who killed in rage? They thought that they would live forever, that they would never age. To the graves, the graves, the graves. And where are all the righteous ones, revivers of the truth? They came and shook the status quo and changed the world for good. At peace, at peace, at peace. But Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains. Where will all the mountains go when fire fills the sky? And the angel blows his trumpet once and all creation dies. That day, that day, that day. And everything we cherish, every test and pain, everything we try to gain, everything we stay away, everything will perish, but Allah remains. I observe, I stare and see, spectator on the earth. I live through books of history to try and find my worth. But I believe my soul to be a gift of Allah's grace. And the timeless nature can't be tied to worldly time or space. And when I have left the shell behind and this world's done with me, and my soul returns to God for all eternity, that day will I be free. Cause everything we cherish, every test and pain, everything we try to gain, everything we stay away, everything will perish, but Allah remains. Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains, Allah remains.
