[00:32.62]Suffer not your neighbor's affliction
[00:36.62]Suffer not your neighbor's paralysis
[00:43.81]But extend your hand, extend your hand
[00:53.00]Lest you vanish in the city and be but a trace
[00:59.42]Just a vanished ghost and your legacy
[01:05.88]All the things you knew, science, mathematics, thought
[01:15.71]Severely weakened like irrigation systems
[01:22.89]In the tired veins forming from the Tigris and
[01:27.48]EuphratesIn the realm of peace, all the world revolved
[01:34.30]All the world revolved around a perfect circle
[01:39.00]City of Baghdad, city of scholars
[01:43.84]Empirical humble center of the world
[01:48.84]City in ashes, city of Baghdad
[01:53.53]City of Baghdad, abrasive aloof
[02:27.83]Oh, in Mesopotamia aloofness ran deep
[02:38.82]Deep in the veins of the great rivers
[02:45.32]That form the base of Eden
[02:50.08]And the tree the tree of knowledge
[02:55.29]Held up its arms to the sky
[03:00.08]All the branches of knowledge
[03:03.05]All the branches of knowledge, cradling, cradling
[03:13.35]Civilization in the realm of peace
[03:20.58]All the world revolved around a perfect circle
[03:27.00]Oh, Baghdad, center of the world
[03:30.92]City of ashes with its great mosques
[03:35.73]Erupting from the mouth of God, rising from the ashes
[03:40.93]Like a speckled bird, splayed against the mosaic sky
[03:49.48]Oh, clouds around, we created the zero
[04:02.36]But we mean nothing to you, you would believe
[04:12.69]That we are just some mystical tale
[04:16.92]We are just a swollen belly that gave birth to SindbadScheherazade,
[04:29.51]We gave birth
[04:35.45]Oh, oh, to the zero, the perfect number
[04:42.77]We invented the zero and we mean nothing to you
[04:47.48]Our children run through the streets
[04:54.21]And you sent your flames, your shooting stars
[04:58.88]Shock and awe, shock and awe
[05:03.22]Like some, some imagined warrior production
[05:17.06]Twenty-first century, no chivalry involve No Bushido
[05:47.26]Oh, the code of the West long gone
[05:52.54]Never been, where does it lie?
[06:01.10]You came, you came through the West
[06:04.83]Annihilated a people and you come to us
[06:12.80]But we are older than you, you come, you wanna
[06:20.10]You wanna come and rob the cradle
[06:25.26]Of civilization and you read, yet you read
[06:32.83]You read genesis, you read of the tree
[06:35.77]You read of the tree beget by God
[06:40.59]That raised its branches into the sky
[06:43.66]Every branch of knowledge
[06:46.83]Of the cradle of civilization
[06:49.21]Of the banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates
[06:53.86]Mesopotamia aloofness ran deep
[07:00.01]The face of Eve turning, what sky did she see
[07:14.29]What garden beneath her feet, the one you drill
[07:23.31]You drill pulling the blood of the earth
[07:28.83]Little droplets of oil for bracelets, little jewels sapphires,
[07:37.03]You make bracelets round your own world,
[07:43.68]We are weeping tears rubies, we offer them to you
[07:50.76]We are just your Arabian nightmare
[07:55.95]We invented the zero but we mean nothing to you
[08:04.19]Your Arabian nightmare
[08:36.80]City of stars, city of scholarship
[08:42.79]Science city of ideas, city of light, city
[08:55.33]City of ashes that the great Caliph Walked through his naked feet formed a circle
[09:06.87]And they built a city, a perfect city of BaghdadIn the realm of peace
[09:15.67]And all the world revolved
[09:20.32]And they invented and they mean nothing to you
[09:30.13]Nothing to you, nothing
[09:45.30]Go to sleep, go to sleep my child
[09:49.01]Go to sleep and I'll sing you a lullaby
[09:52.31]A lullaby for our city, a lullaby of Baghdad
[09:57.02]Go to sleep, sleep my child
[10:00.74]Sleep, sleep, run, run
[10:23.62]You sent your lights, your bombs
[10:28.04]You sent them down on our city, shock and awe
[10:31.17]Like some crazy TV show
[11:04.33]They're robbing the cradle of civilization
[11:11.62]They're robbing the cradle of civilization
[11:19.25]They're robbing the cradle of civilization
[11:51.67]Suffer not the paralysis of your neighbor
[12:00.87]Suffer not but extend your hand
