lyrics

The Mediterranean moved strangely calm
With the boats of the Arabian refugees at dawn
And the vicious pirates of the human trade
They stayed peaceful whilst their cargo was afraid

Ranya and Amaal, Abduhalla and Atefa
Said and Myrian, Fares and Saud
Were among the one’s that sailed upon the ocean
They never reached their home; got burried in the great unkown

The waves of the menacing sea raised above
their heads and their only medicine were bits of broken love.
They got imprisoned on a boat, carried by a sea,
Dividing them from their homeland and their chance of being free.

Ranya and Amaal…

The depth of the raging sea, laid silent as a grave,
As the lights of mortality was shut beneath the waves
All you in lands abroad, be weary of what will be:
The pendlum swings again, we’re told, but this time into eternity.

Ranya and Amaal…
