Gate of My Heart
I was alone,
when the banks burst,
and the river came down,
From the clouds to the earth
You were the one
I had longed to find
The honey to my tongue
And the balm to my mind
So, if I should speak
But a word of you
Would the universe break,
Would the trees split in two?
Well I will not sleep
Neither close an eye
Until the day I will lie down,
I was born to die,
For you (x2)
Will the Gate of my Heart
If heaven should fall
What am I to do?
This is real for me,
If it’s real for you
So, this I will swore
As I combed the Earth
From the day I was born
Until the night of my birth
So, understand
My heart in hand
Have crawled from land to land
You were my grail
My only goal
Forever the joseph of my soul
If I am you
And you are me
In every page of history
Has led me here
To the shade of your door
The arch, the flood,
The holy blood, the bush, a flame
The Cross, the pain,
The heads that rolled
Like waves to the shore
So, if I should walk
With this flag a fly
To Mazandaran
Where the kings go to die
I will not ask,
Neither how nor why
But there’s a star in the sky for,
Every tear I cry
For you (x2)
Will the Gate of my Heart

I was lost,
And I am found
My tongue unloose
My mind unbound
You said two words
And spoke them thrice
And made your life
A sacrifice


For Him to be
Manifest (x2)
Indeed
For him to be
Manifest (x2)
Indeed
For him to be
Manifest (x2)
Indeed

I was alone
When the world began
I stood at the throne
Of the image of Man
So, think of my name
When you count the stars
I am your Husayn
This is my Karbala
