Caravan of Death

Lying letters were sent to the ancient city
Full of sorrow and deceivingly pity
Calling for guidance to stop the rage
And for the new world to set the stage
They called the brave and the chivalric
The only, the most free and the maverick
The caravan through the deserts traveled
To grant victory for the miserable battled
Autocracy, tyranny and oppression to be defeated
With liberty and justice the poor to be treated
So the prayers not to be facade and rituals only
And the righteous not in this world to be lonely
For us not be pharaohs and not to enslave the weak
For the rich not be worshiped and only with truth we speak
So our purpose is not to gain money and fame
And for us to see in the exotic life there’s shame
No monasticism and stinginess, and no waste and blink
Moderation and grey area where we always have to think
There’ll be no reason to commit the seven sins
And in our hearts humility over vanity always wins
The caravan continued on a steady pace
A world of betrayal it was going to face
The horses neighed and the driver chanted
All to God prayed for patience and canted
Knowing that the pure blood would be spilled
And with the children tears the river would be filled
They weren’t reluctant and they weren’t scared
They knew to heaven their right was declared
Caravan of death, how much I wished I was a passenger
How much I hoped I was sent to the city with the messenger
