Allah Remains Lyrics
WRITTEN BY: Zain Bhikha and Dawud Wharnsby
Where are all the kings of old, where are all the gods
They sat upon a mighty throne
Where’s their arrogance gone
To dust, to dust
Where is the rejected one
Stood tall and questioned why
Thought he was better than clay
For he was made of fire
Respite, Respite
Chorus:
But Allah remains
Allah Remain
Allah Remains
Everything we cherish
Every test and pain
Everything we tried to gain
Everything we steer away
Everything will perish
But Allah remains
Where are all the tyrants gone
Those who killed in rage
Who thought that they would live forever
And they would never age
The graves, the graves
Where are all the righteous ones
Revivers of the truth
Who came and shook the status quo
And changed the world for good
At peace, at peace
Chorus
Where will all the mountains go
When fire fills the skies
And the angel blows his trumpet once
And all creation’s dies
Silence, Silence
Everything we cherish
Every test and pain
Everything we tried to gain
Everything we steer away
Everything will perish
But Allah remains
I observe, I stare and see, spectator on the earth,
I leaf through books of history, to try and find my worth.
But I believe my soul to be, a gift of Allah’s grace,
And the timeless nature can’t be tied to worldly time or space.
And when I have left this shell behind, and this world’s done with me
And my soul returns to God, for all eternity
That day, Will I, be free
Everything we cherish
Every test and pain
Everything we tried to gain
Everything we steer away
Everything will perish
But Allah remains
Chorus
But Allah remains
Allah Remain
Allah Remains
