in my words i can be
anything i want
and so tonight
i want a spear to tear through my chest for you
ya ‘Ali al-Akbar!
faith
only means anything
if you would give up love for it
if you would give up life for it
if you would give up everything for it
and so tonight
i want my arms to be cut off for you
ya ‘Abbas!
we scare ourselves
and try to tame what is within
avoiding the wild places of our heart
which lead us down the road to Karbala
in perfect trust
and so tonight
i want my severed head to be raised on a lance for you
ya Husayn!
your bodies are more precious than my own
your blood is more sacred than mine
لا إله إلا الله
