Written On The Forehead

[Intro] People throwing dinars at the belly-dancers In a sad circus by a trench of burning oil People throw belongings, a lifetime's earnings Amongst the scattered rubbish and suitcases on the sidewalk [Chorus 1] Take palms and orange and tangerine trees And eyes that are crying for everything Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire [Verse] I talked to an old man by the generator Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire He was standing on the gravel by the fetid river Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire He turned to me, then surveyed the scene Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn Said, “war is here in our beloved city.” Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire Some dove in the river and tried to swim away Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn Through ten thousand tons of sewage, fate written on their foreheads Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire Date palms, orange and tangerine trees And eyes were crying for everything [Chorus 2] [x3] Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
