Thus now he knelt before the ruins,nCold of sweat, heat of flamenTo vow the severed headsnOf those who brought the village, the village to its shame.nThose who plundered,pilfered, pillaged livesnWould now accept the blame.nnHe would find them allnWith a mighty vengeance paid for in their painnnShah-jan, the king of kingsnWore seven rings and 60 feathersnPlucked from sparrow's wingsnnGrowing fat on the throne,nHe sat like a stone.nA man who had never knownnNo hunger, shown no mercy withnIn promises broke like a bone.nnnAnd there he sat like a stone,nWith promises broke like a bonenDispersed about the peoplenRostam calls out for his equalsnnnIn third to rise and cast cursenIs that the worst of vengeancenEnemies they roam the tree'snIs that the worst of vengeancennnThe royalty must die x3nThe royalty must die like common beggars and petty thieves x2nnTomorrow they will find usnOh God x3nHeads of children will rollnnThus know he knelt before the ruinsnCold of sweat, heat of flamenHe found the severed heads x2nOf those who brought the village, the village to its shame.nn3:16nThe king of kings worenSeven rings and 60 feathersnPlucked from sparrows' wings.nnHe's growing fat, growing fat on the thronenWhere he sat like a stonenA man who has never known no hungernShown no mercynnThose who ride against usnWill be murdered where they standnLet our arrows rain from skynTo drain the blood into the landnnIf a mortal stands before usnStrike him down with sleight of handnAnd if heaven rides against us thenGod himself then must be damned.
