LYRICS

Seven Lanterns in the sun
The golden Martyrs of Tehran
Though they killed Them everyone
Their influence have just begun

Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá
Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá

The uncle of the Báb was first
They asked him to express one curse
He said I have one desire
Let me be the first to die

Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá
Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá

They brought Mírzá Bárfúrúshí
From that honoured Company
He said I look at your sword
See it gate unto my Lord

Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá
Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá

The third prisoner he gave out sweets
As if it were a wedding feast
He said what payment can there be
For this honour you do me

Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá
Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá

The fourth prisoner he spoke with cheer
Let us call a meeting here
And I will prove you what I say
The Glory of this Holy Day

Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá
Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá

The last three entered in the square
The crowds were shouting everywhere
Who would be the next to bleed
Each said brother please let me

Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá
Ya Bahá'u'l-Abhá

Seven lanterns in the sun
The golden Martyrs of Tehran
