QUOTE : Sanctions levied <br />Sanctions heavy Break my back But you will not end me<br /> <br />Many have assailed Many have failed Pack after pack Blood shed but to no avail <br /><br />Had my share of years Had my share of tears SAVAK to crack A century of polluted atmosphere <br /><br />This is my land This is my clan Turn the clock back I'm as old as the history of man <br /><br />Gone are the golden days Gone are the golden ways <br />Stopped in my tracks Time will lead me out of this maze <br /><br />Keep my people in pain Keep my people in chains Wrapped in my flag The end welcomes tyranny's campaign <br /><br />Levy your sanctions Heavy my reaction From The Burnt City to Ganzak I, Simurgh, will rise from the ashes <br /><br />History will go round <br />History will go down Evil, domestic and foreign <br />Will burn to the ground <br /><br />Time bears witness <br />Time bears justice Our mystic misfortune <br />A lingering dark nimbus <br /><br />Rise up my wings Rise up my kings This majestic sovereign <br />Will be reborn once again
