Karbala — version 2

Islamic

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 repect 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

Iignorantly 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
