VERSE 1:

1983 on the 18th of June
In the cover of darkness, the heartless consumed 
The lives of ten women, all innocent and pure
Told they were unclean and to recant was the cure
But little did the killers know
These women wouldn't give in - no
They sang and they prayed already forgiving the killing blow
Even in prison they were living to keep love alive
How could they make each woman watch the other die?
The greatest sacrifice, being sent against their will into the afterlife
Because of what they believed, that couldn't happen twice
It was their final moment - and so divinely golden
I know im calling on their spirits when my time is chosen
Their souls ascended, they never ended
Harmonising to the song that their oppressors sung
When a chapter ends it doesn't mean the book is done, 
Open up your eyes - our story is one

CHORUS:

If all that you want is to take my life, then it's time - let me fly free
But when I'm gone they'll be shouting out loud: you can't kill what's inside me 
Every night we'll keep this call alive:
Open up your honest eyes 
Yeah...our story is one
One, one
Sing loud for my people as they shine bright
One, one
Said one, one
For the love of the people, I'm telling you 
One, one
Our story is one.

VERSE 2:

Mona, at the age of 17
The angel of shiraz, gave her life as tribute to The Cause
Akhtar, when faced with death she praised God
Simin, Shahin, their sacrifice lives on
The embodiments of selflessness and faith in these names
Zarrin, Mahshid - they are the heroes of today
Nosrat, Tahereh, Ezzat-Janami and Roya
So joyously they gave their lives away
We say their names
So we can never hope to forget their pain
And carry on their legacy and loudly say
You can’t take my faith away

CHORUS

Afsaneh Saberi, the niece of Simin Saberi, reads the names and ages of these courageous women:

10.Ezzat-Janami Eshraghi, 57, along with her daughter Roya, 23. Her husband,
Enayatullah Eshraghi was executed two days earlier;
9. Nosrat Ghufrani Yaldaie, 46. Her son, Bahram Yaldaie, was executed two days
Earlier;
8. Tahereh Arjomandi Siyavashi, 30. Her husband, Jamshid Siavashi, was executed
two days earlier;
7. Zarrin Moghimi-Abyaneh, 29;
6. Mahshid Niroumand, 28;
5. Akhtar Sabet, 25;
4. Shahin (Shirin) Dalvand, 25;
3. Simin Saberi, 24;
2. Roya Eshraghi, 23, executed along with her mother;
1. Mona Mahmoudnejad, 17.

10 dreams for 10 women unlived
10 lives that oppression undid
To die for truth - that’s where their glory is from
And now the whole world sings - #OurStoryIsOne

Our Story Is One

A Long Time Now

Verse:
She sits silently 
Staring as the world spins slowly round
Leaves lie lazily 
In semi-perfect patterns on the ground
Summers been and gone a long time now 
And she can’t wait to fall in love
With all the changing colour  

Verse: 
She’s daydreaming
She’s dancing down a dark and quiet room
Her heart keeping time 
And the music in her mind making her move
She’s been dancing on her own a long time now
And she can’t wait to fall in love
And go dancing with another

Bridge:
Everyone around her sees in black and white
She was always one to read between the lines
No good at keeping secrets, worse at telling lies
Overly persistent

Verse: 
She sits silently 
Staring as the world spins slowly round
Leaves lie lazily 
In semi-perfect patterns on the ground
Summers been and gone a long time now 
And she can’t wait to fall in love
With all the changing colour 
Been dancing on her own a long time now
And she can’t wait to fall in love
And go dancing with another

Lyrics

Birds flying I see
Spitting fire to the ground
Walls broken, I see 
Souls lifeless all around
I’m tired of running, 
I got nowhere to go 
I’m tired of running
To the edge of the unknown

Now there’s nowhere to run 
Nowhere to hide
But then you found me
You saved my lonely soul
You took me in 
With no questions asked
I was looking for freedom

But I found 
I found home in you x4

Hands of death, I feel them on my neck
Arrows of metal and lead
Fill up my mother’s chest
Now I’m all alone
In  a world so cold
I got nowhere to go 
I can feel it in my soul
But you took me in 
With no questions asked
I was looking for freedom 

But I found
I found home in you x4 (I found home in you)

You took my hand
And never let go 
You were there for me when I had no one to hold
You took my hand 
And never let go 
You were there for me when I had no one to hold
You took my hand 
And never let go 
You were there for me when I had no one to hold
You took my hand 
And never let go  
Never let go 
Never let go 

I found home in you
I found home
I found home in you
I found home
In you

Stay A Little Longer

Verse:
She's sitting by the corner
waiting for the day that I come home
She's sitting by herself,
tears are rolling down her brand new phone
I've been trying really hard to make it back 
But I don't seem to have the time
I've been trying really hard to make it back 
And it's killing me inside.

Chorus:
Baby Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
Baby, Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
So just stay
Stay a little longer for me

Verse:
She's in her room 
She's waiting on her new best friend
He gives her all the attention
All of which with me she never had
And it seems pretty hard for me to accept 
But I guess that's reality now
It seems pretty hard to accept
Baby, won't you stay with me

Chorus
Baby Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
Baby, Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
So just stay
Stay a little longer for me

The words are from the writings of Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'i Faith:

"O Son of Man!   I loved thy creation, hence I created thee. Wherefore, do thou love Me, that I may name thy name and fill thy soul with the spirit of life." (Baha'u'llah, The Hidden Words)

**
I imagine this track to develop in the near future by adding vocal harmonies and echoes, and some violin.
