Album:
The Phantom Agony

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

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
