Syria Music Video: #SYRIA (Offendum)

The artist Omar Offendum offers a tribute to and hope for the Syrian protests --- lyrics, taken from his blog, below the video:

Audio Sample taken from the largest Syrian protest to date, in Hama on 22 July 2011 --- "alsha3b yureed isqaa6 al-nitham (the people want to overthrow the regime)"

---

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." --- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Verse 1

The purpose of these verses is to unify the masses

7oms up to 7assakeh … Banyas to Damascus

City streets to countrysides

Mountaintops to coastal tides

Muslim / Christian / women / men & children

Lets keep hope alive

Stand in solidarity with all your fellow citizens

Peacefully protesting for an end to all the militance 

Torture & imprisonment

Murdering of innocence

Proving that this lying/lion leader's rule is illegitimate

Like father --- like son

Mobster or president?

Censoring their people

Trying to stop the embezzlement 

Heavy-handed iron fists

Dropped on the residents

Déjà vu... 

'82 - '11...

We are all Deir Ezzor … We are all Dar3aa

We are all Jisr il-Shughoor … 7alab & the 2al3a's (castles)

We Are All 7amza ... We Are All 7ama ... 

We Are All Syrian … Hands to the samaa2 (sky) saying:

 

"alsha3b yureed isqaa6 al-nitham"
