[Intro] Under the cedar moon We enter, we enter [Verse 1] Dust on the marble stone Cold water in my hands A lamp beside the arch A prayer no tongue can hold The veil begins to lift The silence starts to breathe Your name in saffron smoke Spins slowly through the dark [Pre-Chorus] O open, open wide The hidden door in me O turn me toward the flame Where memory turns to gold [Chorus] Ya Allah, open the gate Ya Allah, lead us home Heart on fire Heart in the hush We rise, we rise, we rise [Verse 2] The drumskin calls at dusk Feet circle through the dust Old stars above the dome Lean down to hear us sing My shadow leaves my spine And walks into the hymn The kamancheh weeps Then lifts me on its wing [Pre-Chorus] O open, open wide The hidden door in me O turn me toward the flame Where memory turns to gold [Chorus] Ya Allah, open the gate Ya Allah, lead us home Heart on fire Heart in the hush We rise, we rise, we rise [Bridge] Now the whole hall glows Like embers under stone Every breath becomes A world I knew before [Final Chorus] Ya Allah, open the gate Ya Allah, lead us home Heart on fire Heart in the hush We rise, we rise, we rise Ya Allah, open the gate Ya Allah, lead us home We rise, we rise, we rise
