1.
Vesper 12:11
O, Vesper! How the vampyric scourge devoured thy life And now thine ardent eyes are for ever bereft of light Penance! For blasphemous the sight of thy pristine blood Dripping from the blades of the vicious fiends, 'twas!
2.
Cherub 08:50
Behold! The most beauteous of cherubim have awoken Bearing the brightest of morrows on their silvern wings Awake! Awake! Tortured souls of the wheels long broken Join the virtuous legions of light in this holiest of crusades
3.
Chaste 09:33
Heav'n is nigh, where the chaste maidens joyously wander Whose fairest figurines were profaned and torn asunder Heav'n is nigh, where many a pure damsel laugheth fore'er Whose pendant locks of youth shall flow on the waves of æther
4.
Seraph 09:37
Furthest of the stars ablaze in the eyes of many a crowd she glareth fiercer, with each fallen child of the mother O sepulchred corpses of aeons! Arise and chant aloud We are the seraphs of a thousand young and beloved!

about

"Beloved and a Thousand Seraphim" is dedicated to all brave women of Iran who have paid and are still paying the hefty price of liberty with their lives. It's a romantic remembrance of Mahsa, Nika, Sarina, Mehrshad and all those beautiful souls who perished in the inhumane savagery of the fanatic scourge in my motherland.

The album will be available for free. Any purchases are much appreciated as always. But the goal of this work is to pay my respects to those brave ladies of Iran and all the lionhearted youth who have been fighting to defeat the invading blind zealots, and also share their epic tales of glory, in life and death, with anyone who might hear my chants.

Lastly, I have to thank Mahshid for her wonderful illustration of our common beloved, Mother Persia, and all her children who have been martyred to become roses of hope on the grey fields of despair.

For Woman.
For Life.
For Freedom.
For Persia.

برای ماهرخان، نیک‌سرشتان، مهرشادان و همه آن برنایانی که در راه آزادی، با دلدادگی در خون خویشتن پا کوفتند و میکوبند

زن - زندگی - آزادی
