We’re going Green

12th of June will mark the first anniversary of the rigged Iranian election. Some activists in Iran have made a beautiful English song entitles Going Green. I haven’t had a good chance to update here regularly but I have to share this with you and will try to keep here updated with the news during this time:
Listen and read the beautiful lyrics, If you want you can also watch the video here in YouTube (attention the video contains grafic images)

Through all those fears and dreads, that let me down
Is there still a road for me to stay on…to go on…

I thought I would be lone tonight, But I’m not
Voices out there calling me “Here’s the fight”…

Things have changed, hope’s growing in veins
Hands in hands will stand to the end…

The time has come to break the chains
Send love and peace to the world again
Getting our pride back, once we lost
We’re gonna win, We’re going green

Maybe they could choke a cry, burn, deny…
But the choir rises up, roaring “Not giving up”…

Things have changed, hope’s growing in veins
Hands in hands will stand to the end…

The time has come to break the chains
Send love and peace to the world again
Getting our pride back, once we lost
We’re gonna win, We’re going green

We’re going green… We’re going green…We’ll be free again… We’re going green

Come on (Bia) by Abjeez

Like Naj, I’m also tired of hearing the news of torture, rape and “trials” of my people. Music sometimes is the only way to calm down. Listen and read the English version of Come on (Bia) by Abjeez, to watch and listen to the Persian version click here.

Come and join us once and for all, let’s be honest, let’s be true
Join the force of love and see, what’s in there waiting for you!

Even in the wrestling rings our men tend to tolerate
Barefooted, with a waist-cloth, wrestling men of the same weight

You walk with your kneeguards; carrying chains and clubs, wearing a mask
Well done brother, what a champ! Is that what you call bravery I ask?

It’s easy to strike and brake, kill and burn, destroy and chase
I guess God can’t recognize, a properly hidden face!

Go on hit and kill, let’s see how long it takes,
Before your betrayed heart, melts down and brakes!

Let’s see when your hands will feel ashamed of your own zeal
Let’s see when your betrayed soul will wake up and start to heal

Don’t worry, you too are the “dust and mote” of this land
Unmask your face, see the light, see the truth and take my hand

Feel the compassion, unity calls at this hour
The power of love is higher than the love of power!

Come and join us once and for all, let’s be honest, let’s be true
Join the force of love and see what greatness is waiting for you!

Serj Tankian’s new single

Ali — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:34:32 +0000

I am a fan of System of a Down. Unfortunately at the moment they’re not going to give out a new album but they are working solo. On their homepage you can listen to all their songs and read their lyrics. I think my favorite are Hypnotize, BYOB and Lonely Day. Serj Tankian has a great new single called “empty walls” which you can watch the video and listen to it on his homepage. I will also post the video and the lyrics of this song in this post.
He has recently formed a non-profit organization with Tom Morello of Audioslave called Axis of Justice. Its purpose is to bring together musicians, fans of music, and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice together.

Empty Walls
Serj Tankian Lyrics

Your empty walls
Your empty walls
Pretentious adventures
Dismissive apprehension
Dont waste your time
On coffins today
When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Dont waste your time
On coffins today

Dont you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Dont you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls

Those empty walls
When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Dont waste your time
On coffins today

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls

Want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taught you to see from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls

I left you yesterday
Before you killed my family

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taught you to see from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those god damn walls
Those walls
Those walls
