Firing on the innocents
gunning down the protesters
coming from the time of prayers
into the Square of the Martyrs
The carnage of the madman
the tyrant refusing to relent
their blood on his hands
all throughout this land
The world is watching
the day of judgment to come
none of this enough
for the people yearning for freedom
Needing him removed now
before more people die
willing to fire on the innocents
mowing his people down
