Cairo

Cairo ( /ˈkaɪroʊ/ KYE-roh ) is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in the Arab world and Africa. Its metropolitan area is the 16th largest in the world. Located near the Nile Delta, it was founded in 969 AD. Nicknamed "the city of a thousand minarets" for its preponderance of Islamic architecture, Cairo has long been a centre of the region's political and cultural life. Cairo was founded by the Fatimid dynasty in the 10th century AD, but the land composing the present-day city was the site of national capitals whose remnants remain visible in parts of Old Cairo. Cairo is also associated with Ancient Egypt as it is close to the ancient cities of Memphis, Giza and Fustat which are near the Great Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza. more »

The devil waits in the still clouds
Please don’t go in there
Please don’t go in there
Dry brush cracking in the eastern field
He’s holding a number, searching for shelter

One day on the cover of a magazine
Falling birds without their wings
It’s 1944 all over again
Silvery metal sends red rivers running

Peter, save us
Open your heavenly gates for us
We plead on bended knee

Peace at your door
Comes at a price too high for you to ignore
Pay all your dues
Fight for a life with rights
What do you got to lose?

The clerics raise their army for the trinity
Pledge your allegiance and your slavery
You’re fighting for a God as if you know what it means
Real indignation but part of a team
What a team

Peter, save us
Openly your heavenly gates for us
We plead on bended knee

Peace at your door
Comes at a price too high for you to ignore
Pay all your dues
Fight for a life with rights
What do you got to lose?

Even though the little ones will never get it
Even though the little ones will never get it
I run, I run directly to the sun
I run, I run directly to the sun

I run, I run, I run
