[Intro]
[Oud intro in Hijaz Maqam, slow tempo]
[Darbuka enters with Ayoub rhythm]
[Verse 1]
[Virtuoso oud, jazz bass, darbuka; steady tempo]
Dust chokes the air from shattered homes,
Beneath the bombs' rain, a people's home.
Walls cage hope, a prison's mark,
While hunger stalks the endless dark.
[Chorus]
[Tempo increases slightly]
[Electric oud with gentle distortion, bass steady]
[Hijaz scale melody]
Palestine, your courage lights the way,
Through our screens and in the streets.
Broken deals, they think we'll break too,
But we're still here. We're here with you.
[Verse 2]
[Electric oud, jazz bass, darbuka; bendir snare, ney melody, keyboards add warmth]
The keys are crushed, the streets erased,
But roots run deep, can't be replaced.
Snipers watch from roofs above.
But opposition grows in every place,
Rising up across the human race.
[Chorus]
[Tempo increases gently]
[Electric oud with gentle distortion, bass steady]
[Hijaz scale melody]
Palestine, your courage lights the way,
Through our screens and in the streets.
Broken deals, they think we'll break too,
But we're still here. We're here with you.
[Bridge]
[Ambient synth pads, careful musicianship]
[Tempo builds gradually, spoken word over synth and soft drums]
[Guembri bass, bendir, darbuka shamstep]
Ceasefire breaks. We're on the street,
Your uniforms, your violent plan
We see it now. We understand:
You need us frightened to control.
[Chant, building]
[Qanun arpeggios, ney rises, darbuka drives]
From every shore, the chant takes hold:
"We're in this fight, we're young and old!
Resist! Return! Reclaim your right!
Our future burns with yours tonight!"
[Guitar Solo]
[Setar and oud in Hijaz Maqam, virtuoso]
[Darbuka shamstep hip hop beat]
[Guembri bass underneath]
[Chorus - Final]
[Tempo builds carefully]
[Oud with warmth, bass grounded]
[Hijaz scale melody]
[Bendir snare, qanun shimmer]
Palestine, your courage lights the way,
Through shattered screens, we see your day.
Though bombs rain down and lies take hold,
Your spirit's story must be told!
[Outro]
[Oud and darbuka fade gently]
[Ney melody softens]
[Soft reverb, acoustic feel]
[Softly, over fading instruments]
Ceasefire breaks. We don't break down.
The world knows now. The world knows how.
We're in this fight. We're not alone.
An olive branch... in every home...
