COMMENT
Even though I can only make out names in the verse, I find this extraordinarily moving.

It's very beautiful.  Sight, sound, and history combined.
Mind-blowing link to history & the unity of the participants is amazing, especially considering that the events commemorated happened hundreds of years ago.
Hopefully, my understanding and summary is accurate.

I could listen to this guy forever.  Wish I knew who he is.  Can't find anything comparable to this event.

Tried to find the words to this, but I'm having trouble.

I think this is an Ashura chant.
