[Intro]
In the desert wind, a stubborn name rises
[Verse 1]
Abu al-Karar whispering, steady as a drumbeat stair
We know the battles, hear the marching air
War is a word we cradle, we answer with a stare
Blood on the road, and the cloth flaps in the glare
[Pre-Chorus]
But the earth remembers every vow we bear
The triangles of Maspero glare in the square
[Chorus]
We stand for the vow, we stand for the dare
The blood, the cloth, the sky we share
Though the wars roar loud, we choose the care
This is our ground, this is where we repair
[Verse 2]
The war is called by many, yet we choose the road
Carved in resolve, like a stone we’ve showed
The scarf, the symbol, in the wind it glowed
Holding to a promise, to lighten the load
[Pre-Chorus]
We bend but don’t break, we hold to what’s fair
Triangles glinting, Maspero’s square laid bare
[Chorus]
We stand for the vow, we stand for the dare
The blood, the cloth, the sky we share
Though the wars roar loud, we choose the care
This is our ground, this is where we repair
[Bridge]
If mercy rises, let it rise as dawn’s bright flare
Let calm return where whispers dare to care
[Chorus]
We stand for the vow, we stand for the dare
The blood, the cloth, the sky we share
Though the wars roar loud, we choose the care
This is our ground, this is where we repair
[Outro]
With memory steady, we walk through every square
Abu al-Karar’s words linger in the air
