CHORUS: A shadu la ilaha illa Allah. There is no God but God. If my daddy could see me now – chains around my feet! He don't understand that sometimes a man Has got to fight for what he believes, And I believe God is great, all praise due to him, And if I should die, I'll rise up to the sky Just like Jesus, peace be upon him. CHORUS We came to fight the Jihad and our hearts were pure and strong. As death filled the air, we all offered up prayers And prepared for our martyrdom, But Allah had some other plan, some secret not revealed. Now they're draggin' me back with my head in a sack To the land of the infidel. A shadu la ilaha illa Allah. A shadu la ilaha illa Allah. |
