Everybody's Fool

After the devastating events of the football match between El-Masry and El-Ahly teams, I grew angry as a result of the responds and the way our "saviors" and our "protectors" reacted. When everyone else but our rulers feel sad and devastated to what happened to our youth, I can for sure guarantee that there is something going wrong. It's a conspiracy maybe, but against who?! Is it against ourselves or against our country?! Is it in favor of the anonymous "third party" who maintain his ability in staying  anonymous for more over a year now just to make our existence no more than a mere shadow in the reality he wants to create?! I don't know and quite frankly no one gives a God damn shit to answer. I wrote this because I couldn't help feeling regret for voting to who now seem to be unfit to rule us. I'm sorry to have wasted my vote on you people. You deserve nothing but the disgrace you are sinking deeper and deeper in.

 
In a faraway land, exists a town
Where it is said to be the town of emperors
Where peace is found and welfare is easily gained
Where great rulers rise and legacies are made

After an endless age of great empires; one rising after the other
Came the age of plague; an age when everyone has to suffer
The descendants of Amun and the worshipers of great Ra'
All is going to his doom; the town is set on fire

As everything is burning, as great history goes to waste
A faint voice came up, through the smoky haze
The voice now multiplies and the sound is growing stronger
All is calling for regaining our stolen prosperity

After an age of massive deaths and slaughter
After a war between the existence of the self and that of the nation
The young people win as the tyrant crumbles into his delusions of grandeur
Or so we thought; for we got landed by his filthy replacements

At first, as a child who gets fooled by a new toy,
We thought we won, oh yes, in that we believed
Also in this dream of ending the age of the plague;
It was everyone's hope, everyone's unspoken scream.

As the tide rises, as the waves shift directions
As people wash their disgrace while others sink deep in it
They said it's the time to found a new town
On lawful degrees it's established, it's time for a new history to be written

And as the blood is still spilt on the ground,
Came those who pledged to erase the memories
With false claims and promises they clouded our minds
And for us being trustful, in them we trusted.

With our will we voted, we said it's time for a change
They fooled themselves, they believed they're salvation
And in their believes we believed,
I guess we were struggling in what to believe
But salvation faded away in the establishment of a new age of plague

Time passed, not so long, yet not so short.
The same old same;
Blood is spilt, but now for the most trivial reasons
Killing is now easy, and emotions now are growing cold


People now die in massacres, and we thought we won at first
Some of us have grown unhopeful, that's how the pharaohs ruled
But now we're in the wait for the new scream, for the voice to bloom
For once it screams out calling for change, it will be for real

One part wise, three parts fool; but in bullshit we will believe no more
Somehow they got everybody fooled; but now they are everybody's fool

"Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't (trust) you anymore
It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled"
