For This Cause
Demons hatched from isolated shell
Has brought down to us hell
Simple men with simple lives
Introverts, quiet and withdrawn
Summoned to fight this cause
Trained as suicide bombers
Bomb strapped around their own bodies
Airplane hijacked
They blew up the twin tower
Train stations, church cathedrals
Prominent, crowded places
where the next target
Terror is the weapon of warfare
To achieve this extreme ideology
Annihilation of the Semitic race
They saw this as a good cause
Worthy to sacrifice their own lives
This belief that their reward is in paradise
Seventy-two virgins and loads of purest wine
To enjoy in the life beyond
Allahu Akbar
So they reeled out the charter
The words spoken were fire
Which burned deep in their hearts
And flame up a greater jihad
For all infidels must pay the price
Those traitors who aligned with the Jews
Must lose their lives
Allahu Akbar
This is the spirit of Assyria at work
Evil powers in high places
With unquenchable thirst for human blood
Addicted to killing, destroying
And unleashing terror without respite
Now we began to negotiate with Iblis
To appease his proud pomposity
First, we offered back the prisoners
And ask them to release the hostages
We offered them crude oil, gold and silver
Anything we could give as exchange, we gave
But will they ever let go, I doubt it
