Ok, another update (I'm on a bit of a SOAD kick), does anyone else find Holy mountains heartbreaking? I don't pay much attention to lyrics usually, but these are hard to ignore.
Can you feel their haunting presence?
Can you feel their haunting presence?
Liar, Killer, Demon
Back to the river AraS
Someone's blank stare deemed it warfare
Liar, Killer, Demon
Back to the river Aras
Freedom, Freedom, we're Free,we're Free
Can you hear the holy mountains?
Liar, Killer, Demon
Back to the river Aras
Someone's mouth said paint them all red
Liar, Killer, Demon
Back to the river Aras
Freedom, Freedom, we're Free, we're Free
They have all returned
Resting on the mountain side
We have learned that you have no
They have returned
Resting on the mountain side
We have learned that you have no
Honor, Murderer, Sodomizer
Back to the river Aras
They have returned
Resting on the mountain side
We have learned that you have no
Honor, Murderer, Sodomizer
Back to the river Aras
Freedom, Freedom, we're Free, we're Free
It so perfectly conveys the anger (Liar, Killer, Demon) and sorrow (Freedom) of all the victims of the genocide, almost like they've given them a voice beyond the grave. Amazing song.
