1. Most people are enemies
In good times and bad

2. So don't be fooled by a smiler
Even if he shows you cheer

3. For in his heart are daggers
That rip and tear the chest

4. And if the stars were to fall
From the green sky to the dust

5. And this life, when pondered
Is naught but lesser Hell

6. Don't you see nations in it
Each cursing the other as well

7. I've tried them all, each one
And found no good in them

8. And they're to us like disbelief
And me, and youth, and whim

9. So Amr strikes down Zayd
And Zayd strikes down Amr
