Mother who bore me, what must be done
Father who raised me, what is the path of your son
My eyes are filled with the heart of desire
Kindled by emotions of raging fire
Maiden of darkness, my face lays low with shame
You have left me wanting, never to be the same
My heart rages with two things
Honor and obssession, thus my heart sings
Father who raised me, did you feel the same
Before marriage, did you have your own flame
My birthright is to obey, and to carry my blood
I cannot be swept away in the emotional flood
To become an animal and slave to lust
Should I do as I feel, or do as I must
She shows a flicker of emotion in her face
Must the prize of joy come at high disgrace
Darker flesh than my own
Made manifest in human bone
But I am already promised to another
To break tradition is to betray my mother
Father, did you once feel the same pain
Father, were you not driven insane
Allah forgive my mind, for the thought
Allah forgive me, for what I have wrought
My marriage is already arranged
My mind is obssesed and I am derranged
My blood is the last of my clan
Tell me dear father how to become a man
Did you, oh father, did you crave
Did you desire for what I rave
Father, I hide my tears
Animal I become as she nears
Oh what oh father must be done
Tell it now to your son
Arranged marriage, and protect our pride
Or romantic love, for what I have cried
Where is the line between obssession and love
Grandfather please do not see from above
Where is the line between honor and pride
Dear Allah, tell me how to decide
I am swimming in turmoil and the unknown
Can this nagging feeling, not leave me alone
Is love not fostered between two over time
Or is it awakened by the eye's bell and chime
Two paths, but I cannot tell what is right
Two paths, but a blindman has no sight
I am blind, for I lack wisdom's key
In the end I must learn how to see
Can a man have his honor and his love
Forbidden is the gentle black dove
Father who raised me, what is the path of your son
My eyes are filled with the heart of desire
Kindled by emotions of raging fire
Maiden of darkness, my face lays low with shame
You have left me wanting, never to be the same
My heart rages with two things
Honor and obssession, thus my heart sings
Father who raised me, did you feel the same
Before marriage, did you have your own flame
My birthright is to obey, and to carry my blood
I cannot be swept away in the emotional flood
