this Friday in that land
when the mosques empty
the people done with their prayers
will the madman come
rain bullets down on them
will they cry for freedom
rising up in the square
What will happen across Libya
in Fashloom, Tajoora, Bin Ashoor
in the rest of Tripoli
will they finally rise up
will the people be free
Will the coward shoot them
deny them their rights
will the world stand by in silence
as the day turns red with blood
