Lyrics
Who watches the watchers
Questioning the oversight of those in power
Hiding behind the light
Those in authority hiding in the guise of righteousness
Who'll pay for their crimes
Asking who will be held accountable for their wrongdoing
Will you die for their lies
Questioning whether one should sacrifice for deceitful narratives
The star and the crescent moon
Reference to Islamic symbols, possibly criticizing their use
Symbol of slavery
Interpreting the star and crescent as symbols of oppression
Soaked in blood
Symbolism of violence and suffering associated with these symbols
Throughout history
Reflection on a history stained with bloodshed
Fanatical minds
Addressing extremist ideologies
Enforce the way and law
Enforcement of a particular way of life and legal system
Pound the weak into submission
Crushing the vulnerable into submission
Forced into misery
Forcing people into a life of suffering
Betrayed by their leaders
Feeling betrayed by leaders who send followers to their deaths
They're sent out to die
Leaders sending their followers to die in battle
On blood-drenched fields
Describing the gruesome reality of war
All praise Allah
A possibly critical reference to Allah
Deadly, Opium for the mind
Opium metaphorically representing something destructive for the mind
It dulls the senses and kills the soul
Criticizing substances that numb the senses and destroy the soul
Garbage, Holy verses of the Koran
Labeling religious verses as worthless or harmful
Justify their war on other lands
Arguing that such verses are used to justify wars
No fear of dying martyrdom awaits
Facing death with no fear, possibly due to the promise of martyrdom
It's easier to die than to live
Suggesting that death is preferable to a difficult life
