[Verse 1]
(Mark) The origin of a dogma,
Placed in a new millenium,
Vilified have been embraced,
And given a warm welcome.
[Verse 2]
(Mark) The Seif al Din,
Hasn't got the ghost of a chance to rust,
Because it had always been kept in shape,
In serving the one Almighty.
[Verse 3]
The rudiments have always been misinterpreted during history,
Despite the good intentions of many disciples who's faithful believe was strong and unswayed.
Most leaders interpret the old words to their advantage in the attempt of gaining leadership and power over those unfortunate enough to fall under their maliciousness and manipulative ways.
This misuse of trust will forever stain the pages of history,
Echoing the exploitation and the frailty of the decent men carried away by nurtured rancour...
[Verse 4]
(Mark) Perpetual distrust fed by a belief,
In the malevolence of the others,
(Simone) When the beautiful unreality holds out its hand,
It's better not to lose yourself in blind faith,
(Mark) La Illah Illallah,
Mohammad rasul Allah.
