"Not Your Prisoner" features lyrics in both Arabic and English.
The chorus can be translated into English as:
"I want my nation
Free from all oppression
I want my nation
Free from all evil
I want my nation
Free from all injustice
I want my land and the land of the Arabs!"
Arabian Knightz will be performing "Not Your Prisoner" live in Tahrir Square, Egypt, next Tuesday. Tahrir Square has been the epicenter and main rallying point for protesters involved in the Egyptian revolution. It has been a site of constant conflict since the January 25th start of the Revolution.
