A lot of these lyrics are incorrect.

In the beginning she sings "in her mourning, in her grief" not "morning" and "grave". And I think it says something like "make you beg for her forgiveness" instead of "baby be for her forgiveness". Later on it definitely does not say "mama scared the boy who had cloud sigh / and it will glimmer life's so alive" but "mama's gonna buy you a glass [hive] / and it will glimmer like starlight" ("hive" may or may not be correct). And it's not "flowers for the lost I'd see" but "flowers for the lost at sea".

The spoken word, for anyone interested, is Farsi. I can't hear everything she says, but the first time she speaks the translation is "If we laugh, it is the laughter that comes from tears / I have no more tears". After "glimmer like starlight" she says "I think to myself I'll never see my home again." The rest I can't make out.
