Mayow Trees

[Verse 1] Who are these shadows through the mayow trees? Hoods pulled low, coming hard to seize Storming our villages, leaving us bare Breaking the peace we trusted there Shattering doors, taking hope from the room Smoke in the lanes, then the crack of the doom Oh my God, Insha’Allah, do they even care? We held the line, but the fear was already there [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the ground No place to hide Hearts in the dust With nowhere to run [Chorus] My once peaceful northern land Now under terror’s cruel hand Falling apart before our eyes Beneath those silent skies My once peaceful northern land Still calling us to stand We won’t исчез out in the night We’ll hold our name and hold our light [Verse 2] Mothers keep count by the sounds outside Children stop speaking when they hear them ride Old men pray low by the broken gate Every small step now is a fight with fate But we know the fields, and we know these roads We know the songs that the old wind holds Even with ash on the prayer mat laid Hope keeps breathing in the shade [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the ground No place to hide Hearts in the dust With nowhere to run [Chorus] My once peaceful northern land Now under terror’s cruel hand Falling apart before our eyes Beneath those silent skies My once peaceful northern land Still calling us to stand We won’t исчез out in the night We’ll hold our name and hold our light [Bridge] If they came to bury the truth in fear We learned to keep the faith right here From every ruined wall, from every cry We rise, we rise, we rise [Final Chorus] My once peaceful northern land Now under terror’s cruel hand Falling apart before our eyes Beneath those silent skies My once peaceful northern land Still calling us to stand We won’t исчез out in the night We’ll hold our name and hold our light
