Reciter: Tejani Brothers
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
In the desert where you would die
We cried in each others arms
Forever we would be apart
‘cause my fate would be the prison of Shaam
We both will be bloodied and bruised
And buried without a shroud
The only difference is
I will have no loved ones around
A dark and secluded jail
Is my ultimate resting place
Oh father, the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
I’ll never forget that day
Or the moment that we parted ways
Oh father, the final embrace
I crawled on my hands and knees
And clung onto your horses hooves
I cried and I pleaded with him
To stay still and not to move
Please don’t take my father away
I can’t sleep without his chest
He has been left all alone
Please don’t take him to his death
He is broken and wounded
and thirsty for many days
Oh father, the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
I’ll never forget that day
Or the moment that we parted ways
Oh father, the final embrace
You mean everything to me
The best father that can be
Whenever I would bed asleep
I would see you in my dreams
You’d catch me when I would fall
You’d come running when I’d call
I’d always sleep on your chest
Oh father do you recall?
Now watching you my heart breaks
When I see the tears on your face
Oh father, the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
I’ll never forget that day
Or the moment that we parted ways
Oh father, the final embrace
I have lost so much today
I’ve seen everyone get slayed
I can’t bear to lose you too
Oh my father please just stay
I will trouble you no more
I will sleep upon the floor
Please stay with me I implore
You know that I’m only four
You know that this is no age
To leave me without a trace
Oh father, the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
I’ll never forget that day
Or the moment that we parted ways
Oh father, the final embrace
You got off your horse and smiled
then opened your arms to me
I ran into your embrace
And held you so lovingly
I said if you have to go
I have got one last request
For only a little while
Please let me sleep on your chest
You laid on the burning sands
Without uttering a phrase
Oh father, the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
I’ll never forget that day
Or the moment that we parted ways
Oh father, the final embrace
I placed my head on your chest
And as my eyes shut I saw
A lady dressed all in black
She cried out let my son go
He may cradle you right now
But soon I will cradle him
When he falls from that great height
And brutally will be killed
I got off immediately
With tears in my eyes I said
Oh father the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
I’ll never forget that day
Or the moment that we parted ways
Oh father, the final embrace
You told me to make you proud
As we said our last goodbyes
You told my trials and woes
And onto your horse you climbed
you rode into the distance
My eyes fixed on your silhouette
And when you fell off I heard
The dagger on your pure neck
They threw your head in my laps
In the night of the displaced
Oh father, the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
I’ll never forget that day
Or the moment that we parted ways
Oh father, the final embrace
In the palace your pure head
Was placed on the balcony
Let’s see how strong your love is
The tyrant said mockingly
With my tiny hands in chains
I opened them out to you
Your head came into my arms
And no one knew what to do
I smiled lovingly at you
And placed my cheeks on your face
Oh father, the final embrace
No matter what trials I face
The memory won’t be erased
Oh father, the final embrace
I’ll never forget that day
Or the moment that we parted ways
Oh father, the final embrace
The dark nights of the prison
A place I will not forget
In my final moments there
I missed you so much and wept
To silence my endless cries
Your killers returned your head
I held your head to my chest
I then shut my eyes and slept
My heart finally at peace
I never awoke again
Oh father, the final embrace
