Lyrics
حبة ورق مرصوص
مش شعوذه و لا سحر
المشهد المقصوص
دلدأ أذى مش حكر
اتفصلت مخصوص
لبنات دماغى البكر
يا تبيع تاريخ للصوص
يا تموت معاك السر
هيجان تراب الغيم
شايلاه رجول البوم
هتوطى فى التكريم
تاخد فلوس بالكوم
ربك كريم يا كريم
فانضم للألبوم
خسران خلاص الجيم
فبلاش تكمل عوم
ما تفوقش ع التيار
امشى عليه بالظبط
كل اللى حود طار
دا البحر من غير شط
الزم حدود الدار
فيه خط نار اتحط
ليلففوك فى مدار
يا يكفنوك بالربط
لو ليك عيون بتشوف غميها لجل تعيش
علشان عيون الخوف
مسموحلها بقراميش
أصل المصير معروف فاقفل عليك الشيش
غطيها بالمصروف و اتدارى م الخفافيش
English Lyrics Translation)
A stack of paper, lined and tight
No magic spells, no tricks in sight.
A cut-out scene, a wounded frame,
Not sorcery just hidden blame.
Tailored neatly for my weary mind,
A secret stitched for me to find.
Either you sell your truth to thieves,
Or guard the story till it leaves.
Storms of dust in cloudy air,
Carrying owls with hollow stare.
You'll bow down just for the praise,
Paid in coins and fading days.
But God is kind His doors are wide,
Join the album, walk inside.
You’ve already lost the final round,
Don’t swim again or you’ll be drowned.
Fight the tide? You’ll only break
Follow the flow, do what it takes.
Everything that left, was bound to go,
A sea with no shore just undertow.
Respect the house its burning line,
A border drawn with fate’s design.
They’ll spin you circles, day and night
Or wrap you tight in burial white.
If you’ve got eyes that see too clear,
Close them now, survive the fear.
For eyes of terror bite like thieves,
While fate already writes its leaves.
Cover yourself stay out of sight,
Hide from the bats that roam the night.
