Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb (Arabic: صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب, Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, Kurdish: سهلاحهدین ئهیوبی, Selah'edînê Eyubî) (ca. 1138 – March 4, 1193), better known in the Western world as Saladin, was a KurdishMuslim, who became the first Sultan of Egypt and Syria, and founded the Ayyubid dynasty. He led Muslim opposition to the Franks and other European Crusaders in the Levant. At the height of his power, his sultanate included Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, Yemen, and parts of North Africa.
Under his personal leadership, his forces defeated the Crusaders at the Battle of Hattin, leading the way to his re-capture of Palestine, which had been seized from the Fatimid Egyptians by the Crusaders 88 years earlier. Though the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem would continue to exist for a period, its defeat at Hattin marked a turning point in its conflict with the Muslims and Arabs. As such, Saladin is a prominent figure in Kurdish, Arab, and Muslim culture. Saladin was a strict adherent of Sunni Islam. His noble and chivalrous behavior was noted by Christian chroniclers, especially in the accounts of the Siege of Kerak, and despite being the nemesis of the Crusaders, he won the respect of many of them, including Richard the Lionheart; rather than becoming a hated figure in Europe, he became a celebrated example of the principles of chivalry.
What will my world be like
When I say goodbye
Will you cry at all
Will everybody know who vanished now
Whose light burned out that night
All alone or deep love shown
A sinner seeking a saint come down
Will I feel life the day
When the drapery falls
The grim reaper calls
To take me home
What will I see / who be
When the cold takes my hand
Will I understand
I ever can't be free
Will my shadow ever disappear
Will I fear my fate
When the never calls forever
Will you listen to my words?
Will I feel life the day
When the drapery falls
The grim reaper calls
To take me home
What will I see / who be
When the cold takes my hand
Will I understand
What it means to be happy
I ever can't be free
Will I choose the day
My last breath fades away
Will it set my soul free
Will a new world welcome me?
Will I feel life the day
When the drapery falls
The grim reaper calls
To take me home
What will I see / who be
When the cold takes my hand
Will I understand
What it means to be happy
It's been weeks this pain of mine
Got just this bottle by my side
I see me break
Facing low tonight
Will I be over this somehow
Like you are through with us right now
Yes will I break
This habit of mine right now?
And forget this vow...
Chorus:
Can you see
Me disappear now
I try to breathe
Again someday somehow
I lost control
Down in this hole
Can you see me
I'm drowning in my soul
Now I'm back on this road I know
No song of hope
No lie to show
I do believe that this will never die!
I can see a light
I can see new life
Can I allow it to be mine?
Yes will it shine for me this time?
Chorus 2x
Can you see
Can you see
Me disappear now
I try to breathe
I try to breathe
Again someday somehow
I lost control
Down in this hole
Can you see me
I'm drowning
This is your call might be your fall
Do you have a premonition of it all?
Can you believe
Can you receive
You might conceive this revolution alone!
Here's a chance you might be free
Be your friend or enemy
Soul drown - no crown - face down
Still look up and be
Gone astray - don't pray - I say:
Be your own god now!
Are you alive
Are you a reprise
Are you surprised that you're not living at all
Broken down
Save it now
You shoudn't take a vow:
Revolution now!
Here's a chance you might be free
Be your friend or enemy
Soul drown - no crown - face down
Still look up and be
Gone astray - don't pray - I say:
Be your own god now!
Face down...try to hide
Back down...avoid the light
I know (yeah I know)
The cold comes
See the sun
Your shell cracks
Try to run
See life
There's a light!
This is your call might be your fall
Do you have a premonition of it all?
Can you believe
Can you receive
You might conceive this revolution alone!
Are you alive
Are you a reprise
One last day to get back what you need
One last fucking scene left before you bleed
Get your ass up this nightmare knocks
Death whispering:
Your last day comes
Chorus:
This ocean of these broken dreams
Filled with sadness
Will swallow your soul yeah you will need
This one last day for you
Do you know what it's like to be pushed down?
Do you know how it feels to be blacked out?
Stuck in the dust
Covered with rust
Just dare to take this last day for you
Chorus
Like a nightmare calling
Just one snooze away
Like remembrance dying
Leaving just that one last day
One last day (2x)
Chorus
A burning fearing misery all over me
Covered by a shell of falling leaves
Faceless
Reality's snoozing
A mirror with no reflection of me
Completing memories
Blown away
My believing fades to grey
A mirror where I cannot see me
Blackened shiver on my back
Bloodred rivers fade to black
A faceless mirror never shine
This love, this line
Is it mine
Is it mine?
Chorus
Come on set me free
I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
For this suffocation
Condemnation
I've been down already
Lost already
Completely lost out here alone
Ready to believe
A passionate neverending dream
Destination: Hellish theme
Reality just turned me down
This bleeding head now lost its crown
The leaves keep falling
This road keeps calling
I turn to you
The one I never knew
Chorus
I'm ready to believe
This is a dying world,
Filled with a dying breed,
Every choice, Guilty pleasure
My heart to find the need
We come with tongues like fire
To heal a broken land
We bow a generation devoted to no man
Bow to your knees,
We are no disease
Bow to your knees!
[CHORUS:]
My God, my God these nails are leaving scars
I'd tear down the sky but just to find your heart
I'm so afraid of what my hearts become
I'm staring down the barrel of a loaded gun.
Leaders will fall, Leaders will rise
We won't take their compromise
Every choice Guilty Pleasure,
I'm crying out on my knees
We come with tongues like fire
To heal this broken lan.
We bow a generation,
Devoted to no man.
My Flesh is weak
But my spirit is strong!
