Lyrics:

My Soul in constant pain
Better rethink my life again

My pain in simultaneous birth
better abort this sleazy game

This game, Deception 'n' corruption
mean to spoil, life headed to bliss

Perpetuality aint hard to gain

The body, the mind & the elusive soul
A program to construct as a whole
Mustn't complain - construction takes time
Havin Faith, commitin to the one divine
The divine, creator of souls
The only one who has the truth of it all
This truth not reached by talk
Nor is reached by a leisure walk

There is a path, clear to all
but i fail to heed to its call

That call, Based from my creation
Being deaf i walk to my devastation

Demons inside! Be silent!
I choose the will of the magnificent

His path i will walk
Never again by you be stalked

To my true freedom
To my refuge
a life for God

Hadi Chatila (c) 2004

Rethink{demo}

Beyond the Rain

A demo made around the first lengthy aggression  on Gazza

still a demo, and was never fixed nor completed

They burned, and slashed
massacred and slaughtered
The rock ,the ash
in sight all together

from within this rubble
a voice from inside
breaks the eerie silence
and cries....
We wont fall, the sky saw all
Gazza stands Tall

This Plight, will end
for a new dawn is upon us
The wall[s], will crack
under our power

from within each other
a call from inside
Shatters the aggression
and cries...

We Stand tall, the the sky saw all
Gazza wont fall
Gazza stands tall

Our Father
(Verse 1)
The streets are silent, draped in grey,
A somber hush hangs in the air today.
Our leader's gone, his light has fled,
A gaping wound where hope once spread.
(Chorus)
Oh, the villain's touch, so dark and cold,
Stole our father, brave and bold.
His voice now still, his presence gone,
But his legacy forever lives on.
(Verse 2)
He walked with us, a guiding hand,
Through troubled waters, across the sand.
His wisdom deep, his heart so pure,
A beacon bright, forever sure.
(Chorus)
Oh, the villain's touch, so dark and cold,
Stole our father, brave and bold.
His voice now still, his presence gone,
But his legacy forever lives on.
(Bridge)
The tears we weep, a bitter rain,
Washing away the lingering pain.
But memories remain, a burning flame,
Whispering softly his cherished name.
(Chorus)
Oh, the villain's touch, so dark and cold,
Stole our father, brave and bold.
His voice now still, his presence gone,
But his legacy forever lives on.
(Outro)
Though darkness falls, and shadows creep,
His dream within our hearts we'll keep.
We'll walk his path, with heads held high,
And build the world he envisioned, in the sky.

Our Father

In the light of hypocritical so called “civilized” world we live in, the lying world leaders who hide behind false humanity watching us being erased… while the genocidal izrahelli regime continues with its demonic plan to take over our lands and ethnically erase us, under the guise of defending themselves. I took liberty to modify a similar spirited song for Michael Jackson of the same name and remake it in the needed way. 

(Verse 1)

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

Don't believe their lying words, we know the bloody truth

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

Stealing land, bombing schools, enough of this abuse



(Verse 2)

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

Children die, mothers cry, the world just watches on

Occupation, devastation, families all torn apart

In the rubble, in the dust, they tear our world apart



(Chorus)

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

All I want to say is they don't really care about us



(Verse 3)

Shoot me, loot me, you can never break me

Bomb me, starve me, you can never shake me

Hate me, displace me, try to erase me

But our spirit will never die, you'll never replace me



(Chorus)

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

All I want to say is they don't really care about us



(Verse 4)

Tell me what has become of my home

Where my family lived, where we used to roam

Now just ruins and fire, a land they wanna steal

Our history stolen, our destiny revealed



(Chorus)

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

All I want to say is they don't really care about us



(Bridge)

Tell me what has become of my rights

Am I invisible 'cause you ignore my plight?

Your empty promises of peace are all lies

While our people suffer and our children die



(Chorus)

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

All I want to say is they don't really care about us



(Outro)

Some things in life they just don't want to see

If the world opened its eyes, they wouldn't let this be

No justice, no mercy, just bombs in the night

But we will resist, we will fight for our right



(Chorus)

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

All I want to say is they don't really care about us

They don’t care about us

A Vision so fabulous went 
A Dream so clear n so Vivid
A Vision so fabulous went 
A Dream so clear n so Vivid

Stolen right infornt of us
Shattered to a million shards

All it took was a strike
brewed with hate 
a spin of lies
All it took was a strike
brewed with fear
a spin of lies

Never thought we'd lose the mind
or perceived we'd be alone
Never thought we'd be alive
to witness the days
of the dark throne

Stolen Dream

Am living far from heaven
My eyes flooding with my own tears
My heart can't take no more pain
Cause this burn's too much to bear

The skies are hard to hold on
I can't stand the dark inside
The shadows just Take me out
Not living a devoted life

The useful time not found here
Fire inside just burning me
Crumbling with nothing inside of me
Dying for what, what'll be done to me

Wanting the road to your heaven
A shining heart that beats with light
Just Wishing i am there, your love with me
And giving you all my life

Wanna run the road of the free
Peace of mind is what i aim for
A sinless end of my days
Sublime and pure for you

You are my only savior
My utmost reason

World hold on
World hold on,
I just want to step out

Wanting to come close to heaven
Away from the dark I sat
The glow inside of me
Fighting its way just out

Calling out your name; Oh Lord
How weird these days have become
Till this time I haven't seen 
but darkness over me

نميخوام دربه در
 پيچ و خم اين جاده شم
واسه آتيش همه
 يه هيزم آماده شم

يا يه موجود كم و
خالي پرافاده شم
وايسا دنيا ، وايسا دنيا
من ميخوام پياده شم

اين همه چرخيدي و
چرخوندي آخرش چي شد
اون بليط شانس دائم
بگو قسمت كى شد

Am I the mystic?
Am I the Gnostic?

Am I just the lover lost?

With this last question I’ll end

Where can I find your love?

Wanna run the road of the free
Peace of mind is what i aim for
A sinless end of my days
Sublime and pure for you

You are my only savior
My utmost reason

World hold on
world hold on,
I just want to step out

wanna run  road of the free

road of the free
road of the free
road of the free


World Hold On

A year has passed since we lost you, we feel you in every heartbeat - we miss you, but we will go on!

Beat of a Million Hearts

During the July 2006 Lebanon War Hadi Chatila (one of the lead artists in The Vigil) wrote this piece as a reaction to what he was feeling, then during talks with Sara Takieddine, they managed to give it a tune.

Soon after, Ahmad Hamadani was on the arrangement process; then it got recorded; and now its for you to listen:


    Rise…from beneath the ashes…

    No words to declare
    No words to be heard

    In silence I feel the rage
    No woes to declare

    No woes to be heard
    In resonance I leave this cage

    Round I see eyes shimmering
    Like stars in a dark night

    Round I see deception blazing
    Like wrongs made right

    Round I see destruction overwhelming
    Like erosion all in sight

    Rise from beneath the ashes
    Rise from deep down low
    Stand with honor and status
    Stand without death row

    Rise from beneath the ashes

    Clean the dust on you
    Clean that pain forever and ever away

    [Chorus]
    Oh dear land rise in a posture
    Defying the fascist notions
    Rise (Lebanon rise) with awe and honor
    An example for awakening nations
    [Chorus] [x2]

Rise

Back in 2001, Hadi recorded this for a school project… and, well, it’s still like that ever since … 

I pause time amidst my chaos
Because any second now,
I’ll get my life-time layoff
I search around,
pondering what shall I find?
In an area not rendered in space
nor in time,
not understood by the mere human mind
I play along, in this pre-written scenario hoping that stardom in this act
will make me glow 
I seem to be grasping (but am not)
every concept of this status
But only one Divine, can conceive it,
who else than the One Who created us!
Again
bedazzled by this awe-eliciting moment
Mesmerized, a contemplation evading me, the thought to repent
why should it come now,
it’s too late!
I’m surpassed now,
trampled by my fate
Although by letting time stand still
I can sort out my anarchy, bedlam & pandemonium,
till I’m fed up
till I get my fill
But a force impedes me,
leaving me powerless
Not a twitch not a muscle,
I’m sheepish
I confess
Consumed by the trepidation of this moment
Not knowing how to repent
How might I escape this “Alcatraz”
this prison?
This state is neither a game,
not a play, not even a liaison
It’s the turmoil that lacerates my flimsy being
That blinds me, making me not capable of seeing
Seeing that even if I pause time as long as I can
I’ll die directly after that,
because I am damned!!!!

Inevitable

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s94tnlZpVS4

This track has grave significance cuz we attempted to mix the farsi style with english,
 in additional to some arabic lyrics.. this was recorded 3 to 4 times due to creative differences, technicalities, and the war on lebanon. recorded in 2005 and 2006 and 2007.

The mystic lit up the space around
opened our minds to a realm unbound
with words fervent and illumed liberated our eyes from gloom

[Farsi]
roohe erfane ka2beye janha 
sham2e vejdane mounese delha
 deleman zenegahetoshud sheyda
 nushamaz kelamet jame delrabara [x2] 

Talked from afar to our hearts
 laid the seeds of freedom
 land of the living dead we depart
 to the everlight’s kingdom

He whispered the truth
 his voice could be heard
 wonder if he normally talked
wouldn’t the evil then be burned

[Arabic] 
Ya Man 7ubbuka hazza kayani
walimalakut allah da3ani
7ubbuka unsun qad a7yani
3eshta birou7i wa fi wejdani [x2]

The new wave beguiled all
all those who have a soul
as for those who don’t took an offensive role
That stance is still here
though his being is not
his spirit is what they fear
that’s what in us they fought

[repeat Arabic chorus]

in us lies a small mystic
that seed of freedom
a change to the world so drastic
it will bring to us the everlight’s kingdom
[x2]

[repeat Farsi chorus]

The Mystic

dwelling in the skies
with a heavenly being
between the rays of light

an echo in time
left its trace on my heart
got it beating again
and again

the lights filled the air
as they drove the dark away
calling his name again
and again

oh Ali, a pure soul of light
oh Ali, a man of God
oh Ali, Ali

His presence it changed
the course of my life
got me calling again
and again

ya ali, ya tayfan men nur
ya ali, ya 3abdan lellah
Walaytu imami 3ali

ya ali, ya tayfan men nur
ya ali, ya 3abdan lellah
ya ali, yaaaa ali

Between The Rays of Light - Bassam Shamas

Granted my life from your pure blood
And the glory attained by your hands
Take and read in my notes of affection
Scribed my name in your honorary space
 
Named by the divine by his name
You are the martyr, passionate
And molded by his characters
Basking in his kindness
 
Gaze and tell me what you see!
Things that you can only say
And pass upon us from what you
From what you intake and savor
 
Heartbroken by your far distance
Rivers of tears can't be due!
 

The heart asks about those that do
Who had trapped us in the placebo?
Trapped us with their mere compassion
For love is the strongest bond

Had crossed this short life to the heavens
by the bridge of red lesions
Longing for their firm footsteps
Roses of the parishes  

The land just hiding their secrets
When can the secrets be due!
