Zakāt (Arabic: زكاة [zæˈkæː], "that which purifies" or "alms"), one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is the giving of a fixed portion of one's wealth to charity, generally to the poor and needy.
Zakat, a practice initiated by Muhammed himself, has played an important role throughout Islamic history. Initially, Muhammed instituted zakat as a voluntary, individual offering, but during his lifetime certain forms of zakat have been declared obligatory. The caliph Abū Bakr, believed by Sunni Muslims to be Muhammed's successor, was the first to institute a statutory zakat system. The third caliph, Uthman ibn Affan (who reigned from 644–656) significantly altered the zakat collection protocol, by decreeing that only "apparent" wealth was taxable, which had the effect of limiting zakat to mostly being paid on agricultural land and produce. Ultimately, the practice of state-administered zakat was very short-lived, ending with the reign of Umar bin Abdul Aziz from 717–720 A.D.
Zakat is considered to be a religious duty, and is expected to be paid by all practicing Muslims who have the financial means (nisab). In addition to their zakat obligations, Muslims are encouraged to make voluntary contributions (sadaqat). The zakat is not collected from non-Muslims, although they are sometimes required to pay the jizyah tax.
Your eyes, vision of nightmare - in pain with yur
mistakes
Your sky full of silence
Your tears on the floor - shallow dreams of emptyness
Your life left behind
[Chorus:]
We're not who we are
You should see that far
We're not what we say
You should stay far away
We're not who we are
We're not what we say
My name across the mirror - there's still blood there
My shadow on the ceiling
My fate was never yours - swallow your beliefs
My eyes cold as hell
[Chorus]
There's nothing left there - you should be gone
Only dust awaits
There's the yellow mark - across the crime scene
No corpse left to find
Deeply awaken in this nightmare
I am living in a corpse
No light, no wishes come near my soul
Only the farthest screams, I can bearly hear
My senses lost in this war
No one can see me...
Trapped inside this shell
I am longing for
Distant dreams I've lost
Scattered memories
In my unholy sleep
Blood is everywhere
Pain and ravished thoughts
Burn my unblessed skin
Far from everyone
I will fight aloneThe demons in myself
Haunting all my life
Keep your eyes closed
Shut your lips
Hold your head high
Here comes the abyss
Terminate the terror
Terminate the screams
Terminate the pain
That's what I stand for
Deeply awaken in this nightmare
I am living in a corpse
No light, no wishes come near my soul
Only the farthest screams, I can bearly hear
My senses lost in this war
No one can see me...
I am all alone
Can you see me?
I am all alone
Pain, pain is all I feel
My life, drained away
Pain, pain is all I live for
Nothing is real anymore
Cut open the wounds
Break out this feeling
Cut open the scars
Transcend into another being
Hate, hate is all inside
Burning, crawling, I can't hide
Hate, hate I wish for
Nothing is real anymore
Cut open the wounds
Break out this feeling
Cut open the scars
Transcend into another being
Fall into the black abbyss
Let my soul decay
Fall into the darkest pits
With the worms I shall stay
Kill your god, gunshot
Helpless, surrounded by sin
Walking around with the devil's kin
Slaves of a hateful world
Receive now what you've foretold
Deceived abused, aroused by evil
Your burning flesh reveals scars
Decayed, succombed in your own minds
Believe there is no more freedom
[Chorus:]
Scream, walk, run, you'll never see
Hate, bleed, drown, you'll never be
Lost, dope, scared, you'll always fall
Killed, slaughtered, disgraced, you'll hear the call.
Hold down your anger
Rescue your empty soul
Reload your fearful guns
Conquer your shallow stones
Scream all you can
Run just to fall down again
Run until you set yourself free
But you'll never ever be
The truth was always kept away
We all lived in fields of lies
Our concousness is full of blood
Our minds are set all the same!
[Chorus:]
Fight for your freedom,
Fight for your souls,
Fight against their treason
Fight against their wars!
Rage boils insisde of me
Hatred grows stronger
These are the things that should not be
Prepare to release your anger
[Chorus]
Aaah, they should all be dead
Not here, alive in my head
No, they should all be burned
Your lips, my veins
Sad eyes, cut wrist
It's been, seen again
Empty words, in vain
Empty my soul from these feelings
Make the blood unstain
Empty my mind with these beings
The world's to blame
[Chorus:]
Thrown away from life
Thrown to hell from your world
You deny
You will fall
Your pain, my dreams
All shattered, it seams
My blood, your skin
Neverending, horror film
Rebuild my world from this nightmare
Make my soul reborn
Rebuild my world so it can take
All this scorn
[Chorus:]
Rise, rise, rise
Rise to set fire
Rise to your desire
Rise to burn the weakling
Rise to a new beginning
Break away from the cirle of pain
Leave nothing behind
Break down to keep rising again
In ashes you'll see the sign
[Chorus]
Break apart from the anger inside
Fall away from your thoughts
Break the fist that's suffocating you
See the weak fall
[Chorus]
Rise, rise, rise
Rise to set fire
How do you expect to see
When your eyes are full of blood
How do you expect to know
When your mind is all fucked up
[Chorus:]
Call for help from your god
Beg for mercy from the crowd
Stand down on your knees
Time to do as I please
How do you expect to breath
When your air is poison
How do you expect to live
When your world is broken
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Pray for help
Pray for your life
Pray for your peace
You fucking hypocrite
