Tall Dark Shadows, Soldiers Walk by Another boy screams, his mother has died the army still kills, while the scholars still sigh as I walk through the plains they call Karbala I want them to learn respect for a man invaders from darkness, who march on our sand but they never could take this sanctified land as I walk through the plains they call Karbala ignorantly calling "fighting will cease" but thats just a promise, not a release come take my oil, for you'll never find peace as I walk through the plains they call Karbala Blood which was shed in an age long ago Long before Oprah, or News at One Show Lies in the desert like a fresh fall of snow as I walk through the plains they call Karbala Built upon hope yet the place lies in gloom Only a message of hatred and doom? In a saints Garden under Eid Moon As I walk through the plains they call Karbala Did Hussain teach us to hate all who come? Or martyr ourselves or go on the run? Surely a message of Peace is undone As I walk through the plains they call Karbala
