The Egyptians could run to Egypt, the Syrians into Syria. The only place we could run was into the sea, and before we did that we might as well fight.

Syria Stop Crying Blood

Syria your name I adore,

Syria my heart for you is crying out blood,

Syria how they could hurt you and destroy,

Syria with prayers your name we always honor,

Syria the peace again will surround you all around,

Syria stop crying blood,

Syria the most peaceful country at the world,

You always were how they could hurt you my earth,

Syria like a careful father you always have been for all of us,

Syria with love you always hugged us,

With opened arms always you hugged the painful and the lost and became their house,

When your neighbors were in pain and foist,

You always gave them your best support,

Syria you are the sign of the honesty and the trust,

Syria with you we always were proud,

My precious ground you are our pride,

Syria how can I praise your name and pride,

Syria for us you will always stay the same,

In our hearts you are at the best place,

Your blue sky will again shine proud,

The darkness will soon fade away and the clouds,

Syria your sun Will shine once again my pride,

Again pure and bright like always was,

The darkness never lasts forever I do believe and trust,

Soon the light will surround you my pride,

May crown angels with prayers save your grounds.

Syria with prayers we will always honor your name and pride.

My heavenly Father you may protect and save our country from all these hurts!

Egypt

A very furious wave of protest finally swept the Egypt's President
After eighteen days of relentless rallies against poverty and corruption.
To autocrats across the Arab world it was sent a real advertisement
And Vice President said a military council would run the affairs of the nation.

A free and fair presidential electionfor September it has been promised
After Mubarak had flown with his family from Cairo to the Red Sea.
People embraced in Cairo's Tahrir the main focus for their protest,
Mubarak left because to their conditions he really didn't agree.

Sobbing for joy, Egyptians celebrated in carnival mood on the street,
They fought to have their freedom and to demand their needed right.
They won, because Mubarak easily broke in his most dispirited final defeat
And “Egypt is free! ” Egyptian people screamed on Friday night.

For Egyptians, Mubarak’s resignation wasn’t only a political matter.
Egyptians noticed how much of their lives had passed under Mubarak.
They have decided that they were going to change their lives for the better.
Therefore, Egypt's revolution turned very violent as Mubarak struck back.

There was a note of caution over how far the military allowed a democracy
Someone said Egypt isn't moving toward democracy, but into martial law.
People rose up against government, asking an end to President ' autocracy.
Europe's Arabs have watched those events with a mixture of fear and awe.

Mubarak’s resignation left countless uncertainties for the whole nation
But the main goal of the Egyptian revolution has been really achieved.
Out there, in the middle of that 'ice storm' there was a real torsional vibration
But, in the end, the crowd is going to be very excited and definitely relieved.

On The Way To The Promised Land

What God displayed to all of Egypt with His Powerful Uplifted Hand,
Was only the start of Israel's journey to The Blessed Promised Land.

The Egyptians gave Israel gold and silver right after all the blight,
For God made the Egyptians favorably disposed to each Israelite.

When God had all the first born killed Egypt was filled with wailing,
But God passed over each blood covered Israeli home without failing,

God became for Israel a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night,
And God covered Pharaoh with darkness but His people with light.

When Israel reached the Red Sea they were pursued by Pharaoh's army,
But God defeated the Egyptians by swallowing them up in the Red Sea.

Prior to this Moses said watch and see the deliverance of The Lord,
And with staff raised to part the sea they walked to the other shore.

To empower Moses for the journey and quiet those who began to mock,
God made waters at Marah sweet and produced even more from the rock.

And God whose presence on the mountain was such a humbling sight,
Feed His people with manna each day and feed them quail at night.

The quaking mountain of Sinai was more than just a majestic façade,
For on it Moses received stone tablets written by The Finger of God.

Moses was miraculously sustained on Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights,
This was to receive The Oracles of God in behalf of the Israelites.

Night Over Egypt

Wansel / Biggs)
There's a sky in the east
Over pyramids at Giza
Where there once lived a girl
She ruled the world
Then down the nile
He came with a smile
He was the king
She was the queen
Under the moonlight
Your eyes won't believe
What your mind can't concieve
Oooh
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Incense & myrrh
And girls that swirl
To the music
Nights over Egypt
Women fellahin
Wear veils to been seen
By no one
Take a caravan across
The sudan
Saharan fagade
Is just a mirage
Oasis in the sand
Where life once began
Under the moonlight
Your eyes won't believe
What your mind can't concieve
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt

Regarding Syria, we already call for dialogue between Syria and all parties concerned, in order to avoid any kind of escalation in the region which may expose the whole area to chaos.

Lebanon is restless, Syria got its walking papers, Egypt is scheduling elections with more than one candidate, and even Saudi Arabia, whose rulers are perhaps more terrified of women than rulers anywhere else in the world, allowed limited municipal elections.

It Is Now Night In Syria

It is now night in Syria!
And i pray that the freedom of the people;
Oh, freedom fighters! !
Fight on for your freedom,
For this world needs peace than the bullets of war!
As i see fallen faces gone too soon.
Shot and killed by the bullets of war,
Because my people asked for freedom;
Yes, this world is really not at rest! !
But, let us hope for peace everywhere;
For, it is now night in syria.

Of Dimitrios Sotir

Everything he'd hoped for turned out wrong.
He'd seen himself doing great things,
ending the humiliation that had kept his country down
ever since the battle of Magnesia
seen himself making Syria a powerful state again,
with her armies, her fleets,
her big fortresses, her wealth.
He'd suffered in Rome, become bitter
when he sensed in the talk of friends,
young men of the great families,
that in spite of all their delicacy, their politeness
toward him, the son
of King Selefkos Philopator-
when he sensed that in spite of this there was always
a secret contempt for the Hellenized dynasties:
their heyday was over, they weren't fit for anything serious,
were completely unable to rule their peoples.
He'd cut himself off, indignant, swearing
it would be quite different from the way they thought.
Why, wasn't he himself full of determination?
He would act, he would fight, he would put it all right again.
If he could only find a way of getting to the East,
only manage to escape from Italy,
then all this inner strength,
all this energy,
he'd pass on to his people.
Only to be in Syria!
He was so young when he left his country
he hardly remembered what it looked like.
But in his mind he'd always thought of it
as something sacred that you approach reverently,
as a beautiful place unveiled, a vision
of Greek cities and Greek ports.
And now?
Now despair and sorrow.
They were right, the young men in Rome.
The dynasties resulting from the Macedonian Conquest
can't be kept going any longer.
It doesn't matter. He'd made the effort,
fought as much as he could.
And in his bleak disillusion
there's only one thing in which he still takes pride:
that even in failure
he shows the world his same indomitable courage.
The rest: they were dreams and wasted energy.
This Syria -it almost seems it isn't his country
this Syria is the land of Valas and Herakleidis.

The Golden Face Of A Youthful Egyptian President

I have seen youthful golden face
of a new virile youthful Egyptian
President rising like radiant rays

of rising sun amid decades dark
deceit oppression sown cruel deeds
justification was evil choking cloak

Emergency laws masked Mubarak
dictator deeds Mubarak ranked fifteen
on Stinking Dictators List of Shame

profile official description data states
'15. HOSNI MUBARAK of Egypt:
A senile and paranoid autocrat whose

sole preoccupation is self-perpetuation
in office, Mubarak is suspicious of even
his own shadow. He keeps a 30-year-old

emergency law in place to squelch any
opposition activity and has groomed his
son, Gamal, to succeed him. (No wonder

only 23 per cent of Egyptians bothered
to vote in the 2005 presidential election.)
Years in power: ' 30! Out Out Vile Ruler!

I have seen youthful golden face
of a new virile beautiful Egyptian
President rising like radiant rays

of rising sun amid a golden halo
a young man with a heart tears of
purity will water Egypt like Nile

a young man with a heart tears of
sorrow pain fall for your suffering
Oh Egypt dictators curse is broken

no more will Jackal God Mubarak
steal state treasure gnaw Egypt like a bone
Mubarak blood taints Egypt no more.

Syrian

Killing everybody on the way;
But, who is ready to stop this war in Syria?

Death -74, Soccer 0

Is that a way to distort
The beauty of a soccer game?
For killing is never a sport
What we see is such a shame.

Chaos scored seventy-four
As Egypt lost more sons
Violence has won even more
That nation has been undone.

Oh such a terrible waste
And for unjustified reasons
Lives lost in one brief haste
Of uncontrolled confusion.

Take hold of yourselves, Egyptians
Unbridled emotions control
Show the world you are real men
Never again let Death take its toll.

In Egypt.

Speak softly, wake her not! We all must die.
This is a sleep that wraps her in secure
From Caesar's luck. Yet is that veiny bosom
Warm where now love's despair wrought life's undoing,
Or it may be life's parting, love's renewing,
So all's not over yet. See you, and how
She sleeps in his esteem, and he in hers,
Conjoined in Song's immortal monument;
While Caesar triumphs on through Syria,
And these two lie in Egypt — so together,
And, through the working of a worm, for ever.

This Earth Is Cracking

In USA,
There is a presidential election fight,
Well, everything seems to be alright,
It might be alright, everything seems tight,
Sometimes, I dream of a red sky,
The earth is cracking,
I'm slowly dancing
On your sweet love floor.

Turkey
Sends bombs for free into Syria, on the other side,
Well, it seems that nothing is more important than having pride,
When Syrians in Turkey need to hide,
I've never dreamt of a sky so red,
The earth is cracking,
I'm slowly dancing
On your sweet love floor.

The Greeks
Don't want to sell to Canadian consumers their gold,
Well, it seems that in Canada it is very cold,
Why is it so cold in Canada all the time and the gold isn't sold?
I really dreamed of a huge red sun,
The earth is cracking,
I'm slowly dancing
On your sweet love floor.

The world
Is waiting for a new shift of magnetic poles,
But, instead of this, earth makes gigantic craters called sinkholes,
Smart money makers lose the remote controls,
I really had a multicolored dream,
The earth is cracking,
I'm slowly dancing
On your sweet love floor.

Much more protesters
Want to change their lives and their presidents.
To feed their kids, they work 12 hours per day for a few cents,
It's something to think about, when life has no sense.
I dreamed of a world having a little pink,
The earth is cracking,
I'm slowly dancing
On your sweet love floor.

When israel was in egypt land...
Let my people go!
Oppressed so hard they could not stand...
Let my people go!
So the God seyeth: go down, moses
Way down in egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to

So moses went to egypt land...
Let my people go!
He made all pharaoes understand...
Let my people go!
Yes the lord said go down, moses
Way down in egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to

Thus spoke the lord, bold moses said:
-let my people go!
if not Ill smite, your firstborns dead
-let my people go!
God-the lord said go down, moses
Way down in egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to
Let my people go!
Tell all pharaoes
To
