Eye For An Eye by Ahmad Al-Khatat

 

Before i had my hope in a jar  
Suddenly, this far fall off my hands

When I heard the sound of death
Hope flew with my youngblood  
Without the desire to come back  

Since then i started hunting  
Negativity in the darkness  
Falling into holes of fears
People were closing their  
Doors by my open wounds  

Nobody wanted to stop me
From walking to the mist of fire
My foots were dancing on the  
Flames ‘cause my hands were
Numbs to get to the heaven  

The stranger ‘tween you  
And me, it’s only myself alone
You sleep under the light of  
The world meanwhile I am  
Awake till you take me away  

A ghost from your wishes
Filled my tongue with blood
As if a Samurai sword have  
Slaughtered my fragile voice
‘Fore I say eye for an eye  

One drop of rain fits all
Although, we are still thirsty  
One dance and one word
Blooms one ring with my  
Heart in the little diamond
