She is a very frustrated wife;
Has a very disturbed married life.
Like her, she wants all to be;
No one under her is free.
She has a tongue sharper than a knife.

In the beginning, the Word was with God.
And the Word was God.
Until He sent Him down to Earth.
The Word walked amongst us,
Done miracles and show His love.
But we felt He preached too much,
It was time to shut Him up.
We cursed and shouted,
Crucified, crucified, let Him die.
We want to live a sinful life.
Away with the Word.
We all are gods.
But not all the seeds fell on barren soil,
The Word will reap what He had sowed.
Not all the hearts had darkened their souls
Many still try to walk the narrow path.
Although so many turned away from the truth
And are led by a pack of wolves.
But listen, the Word is sharper than a double edge sword.
And divides perfectly between Truth and a Lie.
And soon you will receive your reward.
Based on how you lived your life.
It is either Heaven or Hell.

Imagine if they took your loved one away
If she was the mother to your child, what could you say
Imagine the pain and suffering of not knowing when you would kiss and hold your loved one again
Imagine if your country didn’t care
If it’s a question of money that she’s still there
Imagine your daughter growing out of your sight
Tell me that doesn’t cut sharper that any knife
Imagine what life would be like for you
When they cast these lies, when they act so cruel
To keep a mother apart from her girl
To keep a wife apart from the man who loves her so
I am ashamed that she’s not home
I am ashamed of what we’ve become
Imagine Christmas when she’s not there
Imagine the pain, the bleak despair.
Nazanin deserves her country’s love
She deserves her daughters love
She deserves her husbands love
She deserves all our love.

deeper deeper goes the blade
where it stops its destiny cant be made.
deeper deeper if i let it, it will
right now it's my one and only true thrill.
i can't stop it, but i know i must
i am losing all people who i do trust.
as i go further further into the dark
how can i get out with it making its mark?
i hide it inside so no one will see
red is not my color, no not for me.
after awhile it no longer causes me pain
but after awhile it is i who is slain.
deeper deeper the blade will go
the dark red silver it now does glow.
i must break free from this awful bind
but sadness is my weakness that i must leave behind.
give me strength to let go of the pain
if i fail i shall never be the same again.
don't let me drown in my bloody reflection
but save me and let me know not of rejection.
deeper deeper i went too far
i was weak and left a permanent scar.
lay me down gently gently please do
for i know my pain is now finally through.
you failed me but i failed you as well
i couldn't fight the urge to rebel.
the metal now lays still on the floor
and there it can stay and hurt me no more

S-harper than any double-edged sword,
O-ne God's truth sets man free;
N-othing ever is impossible,
N-ew result of His promise
Y-ou will see.
G-od's message is so clear
E-verytime it is conveyed;
R-ains from storm shall stop,
A-s everything is God-made.
L-ife comes from God's wisdom,
D-eath is willed by Him in time;
O-nce man follows His mandate, he shall be away from dirt and grime.
C-reator's command is so loud,
U-sing its power to convince;
S-eptember twenty-eighth morn
T-he Lord says what He means.
O-pen your heart, mind and soul,
D-enying not the Lord's holy word;
I-t can turn one's life around,
O-r it's sharper than any double-edged sword.
