Ramallah
Ramallah Lyrics

The clock is ticking on these terrible times
We are living in a time of great turmoil and uncertainty where things seem to be getting worse by the day.

and human blood is flowing daily like water.
There is an alarming amount of bloodshed and violence happening every single day.

The blood, it never dries...
The bloodshed and violence seem to be never-ending, with one tragedy following another.

How long's a man to turn the other cheek
How much longer can one keep ignoring and forgiving the wrongs done to them without taking any action?

before he rises and returns the slaughter?
Before a person decides to fight back and retaliate against those who have wronged them.

Before he rises and spits in your eye...
Before a person decides to stand up for themselves and show their oppressors that they will not tolerate their mistreatment any longer.

Where do you run to? (nowhere)
There seems to be nowhere to escape from the chaos and violence that is happening all around us.

When it's all that you know?
When violence and bloodshed have become the norm and we have grown accustomed to it.

How do you turn your back (on your world) on your world?
How can we ignore the mess that our world has become and not take any responsibility for it?

We laughed and quipped about a revolution,
We used to joke and talk about how we will revolutionize the world and change it for the better.

Now it's coming at the point of a gun and a suicide bomb.
Now, that revolution has become a reality, but it is being fought with violence and bloodshed, which is not how we imagined it.

This is the end, beautiful friend.
This is the end of an era, and nothing will ever be the same again.

This is the end, looks like the party's over.
It seems like the fun and games are over, and reality has set in.

This is the end, beautiful friend
We are witnessing the end of something beautiful, and it is a heartbreaking realization.

This is the end, my only friend.
We are alone in this crisis, and there is no one to rely on but ourselves.

This is the end unless we change the whole world.
The only way to avoid a catastrophic end is to change the world and make it a better place for everyone.

Now what are we gonna do? (nothing)
It seems like there is nothing we can do to stop the tide of violence and bloodshed that is happening all around us.

You do to me and I do to you.
We are caught in a never-ending cycle of violence and retaliation, where everyone is hurting everyone else.

That's how it's gonna end:
If this cycle of violence and retaliation continues, it will only end in one way.

With a whimper (with a whimper)
With a sad and pathetic end, where we have lost everything and gained nothing.

No!
We cannot accept this fate, and we must do something to stop it from happening.
