Neda Lyrics

One morning, she sees her image in the mirror, lifeless, one who hadn't lived but was only breathing, she turns on the TV, how is it possible streets are flooded with people, men and women, young and old demanding their vote, time had arrived for justice, it was injustice that was bound to go. Her mother's warning,Shahin Najafi - Neda - http://motolyrics.com/shahin-najafi/neda-lyrics.html
have all these deaths brought us any change? What happened to those in prison? Does anyone know their pain, or bother to ask their name? Nothing will change, demanding your rights? It's only mentioned in books, all is vain. But Neda2 hears a calling, the streets are roaring: This is your day Neda, the day they'll celebrate your wedding, the day you conceive the Messiah of Death, virgin Neda, Amir Abad3 is thirsty for your blood the groom is the bullets, the bridal chamber your casket. God see how your sanctity's broken? your virgin Mary's shot these savages are ruling, God see how worthless human lives are? What were you trying to say by your gaze4 Neda? I will not silence my voice Neda your blood runs through every alley every street's marked by your blood Sleep! close your eyes, you no longer have to fear tomorrows, sleep for as long as we are awake we will echo your name in the streets. Take your hands off her chest, No! she will not stop bleeding! This blood has been gushing out for a thousand years, this is not Neda's blood, this is the blood of Iran, our lonely land, the land without a coffin the land that exiled us, with its self-resenting rulers how can they show Neda mercy? I don't rely on ifs and maybes anymore, I will demand my rights JUSTICE is here to say, it's injustice that's bound to go, and until our rights are given, THIS UPROAR WILL CONTINUE DAY AND NIGHT 1.
