I'm hoping for peace

Don't leave me

Cuz maybe I won't get to see you again

It hurts me 

To think that this could be goodbye my old friend

For many many years 

he gave me reasons to keep looking within 

You bruise me 

but leave me more in love with the one that was sent

To take me higher 

Away from desire

And I've spent ten nights in grief 

I'm hoping for peace

But I don't want to sleep

And when I close my eyes

Karbala your land is on my mind

And I can't stop these tears

No I won't find peace tonight 

This fire in my heart won't die 

And even in my sleep I cry I cry

I wait for you

Ya Hussain I pray to  be by your side

I'll listen to you

I promise just give me one more night

To hear your story

Helpless wishing I could save your life

But you give me courage 

To face the demons that I have inside

To take me higher

Away from desire

And I've spent ten nights in grief

I'm praying for peace

But I don't want to sleep

And when I close my eyes

Karbala your land is in my mind

And I can't stop these tears no I won't find 

Peace tonight

This fire in my heart won't die 

And even in my dreams I hear the cries

I see bodies laying side by side

Children screamin' I know they wont find 

Peace tonight

This fire in my heart won't die

And even in my dreams I cry I cry

But they're useless

These tears on their own

When I answer

The questions alone

Yes they're  useless

Just tears on their own

If I don't follow his lead

So I'm working for peace 

But there's war in my sleep

Cuz when I close my eyes

Karbala your land is in my mind

And I can't stop these tears no I won't find 

Peace tonight

This fire in my heart won't die 

And even in my dreams I hear the cries

I see bodies laying side by side

Children screamin' I know they wont find 

Peace tonight

This fire in my heart won't die

And even in my dreams I cry I cry
