"THE PLEDGE"
(Inspired by 'Kassaman' by Moufdi Zakaria)
We affirm by the storms and lightning that destroys
We affirm by the rivers that today blood flows
We affirm by the scarlet banners proudly wave
We affirm by the mountains witnesses may say
To the people now awakened gone to fight
Had enough of pain whether to live or die
We are determined to that our homeland will live
We are determined to struggle to be free
SO ARE WE, UNTIL DEATH, HEAR US WE!
We are warriors risen in struggle for the truth
We are warriors even we face the dreaded noose
We are warriors even no one listened to us
We are warriors whose sound's the barrel of the gun
With the rhythm of the battle goes aloud
No matter the pain or death still we're proud
We are determined to that our homeland will live
We are determined to struggle to be free
SO ARE WE, UNTIL DEATH, HEAR US WE!
You oh tyrant the time of reproof is at end
You oh tyrant like a book your power now at bend
You oh tyrant the day of reckoning begins
You oh tyrant wake up from thy foolish dreams
This struggle is an end of empty talks
As the people now eyes open, rose, and walk
We are determined to that our homeland will live
We are determined to struggle to be free
SO ARE WE, UNTIL DEATH, HEAR US WE!
From thy people lies an army come to bring
From thy people now in unison in sing
From thy people will forge a nation that's to come
From thy people till death a glory will be done
And on our shoulders we shall raise our flags
No matter it end tattered becoming rags
We are determined to that our homeland will live
We are determined to struggle to be free
SO ARE WE, UNTIL DEATH, HEAR US WE!
The wail of the homeland resounds from the battlefields
The wail of the homeland resounds till tyrants yield
The wail of the homeland be written by the blood of martyrs
The wail of the homeland be answered: fight back never fear
With the folk together we have sworn this oath
Walking fire, facing hell, till freedom won
We are determined to that our homeland will live
We are determined to struggle to be free
SO ARE WE, UNTIL DEATH, HEAR US WE!
