“And again there was the long road, as straight as an arrow through the shimmering wall of fog, and the sudden apparition of the solitary columns of Persepolis on the terrace that seemed surreally suspended high above the plains”
― Morte na Pérsia
― Morte na Pérsia
“Sanctions levied
Sanctions heavy Break my back But you will not end me
Many have assailed Many have failed Pack after pack Blood shed but to no avail
Had my share of years Had my share of tears SAVAK to crack A century of polluted atmosphere
This is my land This is my clan Turn the clock back I'm as old as the history of man
Gone are the golden days Gone are the golden ways
Stopped in my tracks Time will lead me out of this maze
Keep my people in pain Keep my people in chains Wrapped in my flag The end welcomes tyranny's campaign
Levy your sanctions Heavy my reaction From The Burnt City to Ganzak I, Simurgh, will rise from the ashes
History will go round
History will go down Evil, domestic and foreign
Will burn to the ground
Time bears witness
Time bears justice Our mystic misfortune
A lingering dark nimbus
Rise up my wings Rise up my kings This majestic sovereign
Will be reborn once again”
― Letter 19
