Tur Abdin (Syriac: ܛܘܼܪ ܥܒ݂ܕܝܼܢ) is a hilly region of southeast Turkey incorporating the eastern half of Mardin Province, and Şırnak Province west of the Tigris, on the border with Syria. The name 'Tur Abdin' is from the Syriac language meaning 'mountain of the servants (of God)'. Tur Abdin is of great importance to Syriac Orthodox Christians, for whom the region used to be a monastic and cultural heartland. The Assyrians of Tur Abdin call themselves Suroye and Suryoye and traditionally speak a central Neo-Aramaic dialect called Turoyo.
The area may be that of the ancient city and bishopric of Rhandus, which belonged to the late Roman province of Mesopotamia Secunda.
The most important Syriac Orthodox centre in Tur Abdin is the monastery of Dayro d-Mor Hananyo, 6 km south east of Mardin, in the west of the region. Built from yellow rock, the monastery is affectionately known as Dayro d Kurkmo in Syriac, Dayr al-Zafaran in Arabic, or Deyrülzafarân in Turkish: the Safron Monastery. Founded in AD 493, the monastery was the residence of the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch from 1160 to 1932. Although the patriarch now lives in Damascus the monastery still contains the patriarchal throne and tombs of seven patriarchs and metropolitans. Today the monastery is led by a bishop and a monk and some lay assistants, and is a school for orphans. The bishop of Mor Hananyo is also the patriarchal vicar of Mardin. His goal is to rebuild the monastery and to preserve the history of the Syriac Orthodox church. The Dayro d-Mor Hananyo is part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage and was visited by numerous celebrities e.g. like Prince Charles.

You've been
Chorus
Torn away
With every breath I seem to fade away
Reliving failed attempts of yesterday
This madness darkening the faith in myself
Chasing the grave just to see if it's real
Don't break the seal
Tearing away from the way from the ones that you love
So far above
Using the pain as another excuse
For more abuse
I won't listen to your lies
I'll decide this Hell
Demons rise
Deceiving pleasure leaves destruction and death
A dying breath
Breaking the mind hiding all that is real
It's hard to feel
Filled with suffering there's no chance for you to escape
Cast down all your doubts you know where you are now
Losing hope
You've been
Chorus
I ask you one more time if this is the life you wanted
Chorus
I ask you one more time if this is the life you wanted
I ask you one more time if this is the life you want
Living as prey to disease that kills
Losing your will
Longing the day where there's nothing to lose
No one to use
You can't save me from myself
It's up to me
Destruction feeds on the mind that is blind
So far behind
Filled with suffering there's no chance for you to escape
Cast down all your doubts you know where you are now
Falling down, falling deeper
Falling down, falling deeper down
I can't deny
You've been deceived
I've lost my hold
Forever torn away
I ask you one more time if this is the life you wanted
Chorus
I ask you one more time if this is the life you wanted
