The mask has fallen from the mask from the mask
The mask has fallen
No brothers for you, my brother
No friends, my friend
No fortresses
No water for you, no medicine
No sky, no blood
No sail, no forward, no backward
Besiege your siege... there is no escape
Your arm has fallen—pick it up
And strike your enemy... there is no escape
The mask has fallen
No brothers for you, my brother
No friends, my friend
No fortresses
No water for you, no medicine
No sky, no blood
No sail, no forward, no backward
Besiege your siege... there is no escape
Your arm has fallen—pick it up
And strike your enemy... there is no escape
And I have fallen near you—pick me up
And strike your enemy with me
For now, you are free
Free—and free are your dead,
Or your wounded, they are your ammunition
So strike with them
Strike your enemy... there is no escape
Our limbs, our names
Besiege your siege with madness, with madness
Those you loved are gone, they are gone
And strike your enemy with me
For now, you are free
Free—and free are your dead,
Or your wounded, they are your ammunition
So strike with them
Strike your enemy... there is no escape
Our limbs, our names
Besiege your siege with madness, with madness
Those you loved are gone, they are gone
So either you are, or you are not
The mask has fallen from the mask from the mask
The mask has fallen
No one but you remains
In this expanse open to enemies and oblivion
So make every barricade a homeland
No... no one
Mahmood Darwish (1982)
