We've been praying for You
We've drawn many crosses
In your name
We've burnt so many books
We've slit the children's throats
Just enough to kill some time
But you've taken various names
You've chosen various flags
Say, why is that ?
I remember my mother
Who used to sing this song to me : Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Inch'Allah
Hallelujah
Inch'Allah
We made a whole story out of it
Where you'd come back down to us
But you never did
Our sobbings for sole weapons
We kept fighting so that our tears
May not be lost
Over the centuaries
Over the nights
Going from horror to mercy
We've waited for You
But hope isn't the Eternal
And my God, night's so beautiful
Upon our lost meadow
Hallelujah
Inch'Allah
Hallelujah
Inch'Allah
