8. Seif Al Din "The Embrace That Smothers - Part VI"

The origin of a dogma

Placed in a new millennium

Vilified demons have been embraced

And given a warm welcome

The Seif al Din

Hasn't got the ghost of a chance to rust

Because it has always been kept in shape

In serving the one Almighty

The rudiments have always been misinterpreted during history,

despite the good intentions of many disciples who's faithful believe was strong and unswayed.

Most leaders interpret the old words to their

advantage in the attempt of gaining leadership and power

over those unfortunate enough to fall under their maliciousness and manipulative ways.

This misuse of trust will forever stain the pages of history,

echoing the exploitation and the frailty of decent

men carried away by nurtured rancour...

Perpetual distrust fed by a belief

In the malevolence of the others

When the beautiful unreality holds out its hand

It's better not to lose yourself in blind faith

La Illah Illallah, Mohammed rasul Allah
