Beyond Words Lyrics - Closer Than Veins - Outlandish

With my right foot first 

I stepped into the holy mosque 

Upon the cold white marble 

Where day and night people sat worshippin, praying 

Right and left, the mosque being cleaned 

Shinin, not a particle of dust 

The carvings of marble, the plates of gold 

The symmetry of the whole mosque 

Yeah, the largest of it all 

Then came the grandest of the whole 

The big beautiful house of Allah 

Covered with black cloth and gold leaf writin 

My life flashed passed me, the good and the bad 

Such a feeling, my brother, never ever felt I had 

A special bondage to the almighty 

A sudden chill in me 

Lookin around the large floor was filled with unity 

Circling the beautiful house 

Chanting, people sitting, prayin for forgiveness 

Prayin to do better, I witnessed 

Takin a deep breath, tears was runnin 

I ran around the black house, the ancient black house 

Built by Ibrahim, peace be upon him, circlin 24 no doubt 

I got closer, as did my heart, as did my soul, amazing 

How everyone had their attention only on worshippin 

All concerns forgotten, focused on prayin 

Forgettin everything matters and happenings, just giving 

I looked up in the sky thanking Allah for this journey 

Sayin, "I swear I didnt schedule to be here this early 

I thought Id come here like pops in my forties and fifties 

And the doe I paid for the ticket was meant for some hobby 

But who am I to say if I will be alive tomorrow 

Or 20 years from now, will my health be able to follow?" 

For a moment I pictured myself 6 feet deep 

In the cemetery, my corps in the same white sheets 

Allah holds the master plan and its already written 

The pens are withdrawn, the pages are dry, its written 

Looking back on my life 

Life thats gladly been given to me 

Open my eyes and embrace the smile 

Given to you and I 

Con mi mano derecha abro la puerta 

Mi madre me recibe con un peridico y una carta 

Veo fotos de mi padre abatido por disparos 

De momentos ya yo espero 

Que mis lgrimas caigan, me preparo 

Me sorprende que mis ojos estn 

Secos y mi alma est calmada 

En mi cuerpo no hay dolor por una persona ya olvidada 

Staring outside 

There was something I realized 

Tomorrow the sun will rise and together 

Will see the beauty of eternity 

Salgo a caminar y despejar mis pensamientos 

Lo normal sera sufrimiento 

O un parecido sentimiento 

Le pido a Dios que lo ampar en sus ltimos momentos 

Looking back on my life 

Life, thats gladly been given to me 

Open my eyes and embrace the smile 

Given to you and I 

Looking back on my life 

No regret, only the sweet journey 

Lessons from the simple steps 

Taking by you and I 

With my right hand first 

I open the door to the room 

Where my woman gave birth 

To my first born son 

Only minutes before 

I was in the waiting room, nervous 

Mom's giving me comfort 

Family support 

As I approached, I could hear him crying 

I didnt notice that my tears were running 

Pictured myself for a moment 

In the arms of my father 

Flashback to the bended shoulders 

On which Id sit grabbing his finger 

Taking my first step 

Would I become like him? 

After a certain age bottle up 

Stop showing love 

But cold handshakes throughout the years 

Replaced by hugs 

Father whispered in his ears 

The family was gathered 

Pictures were taken 

My hands still shaking 

My joy was beyond words, him in my arms 

Three generations of tears running so calm 

He came with Gods blessing 

And grace, so we named him Faizan 

If I worship you in fear of hell, burn me in it 

And if I worship you in hope of paradise, exclude me from it 

But if I worship you for your own being 

Dont withhold from me your everlasting beauty 

If I worship you in fear of hell, burn me in it 

And if I worship you in hope of paradise, exclude me from it 

But if I worship you for your own being 

Dont withhold from me your everlasting beauty
