Ode to Life
Music and words by Komeil Zarin
Jan 2023
This song is dedicated to the memory of Mohammad Moradi, a young Iranian student who took his own life in Lyon's Rhone River, in protest of the suppression of Iran's 2022 uprising. May his silenced voice serve to amplify the voices of others.
There is a sun over the river in Lyon
There is a moon that is rising along
There is a voice penetrating the night
Crying, woman life freedom
Crying, woman life freedom
There is a tear dropping gently on the grass
There is a time for everything to pass
There is a life after life after life
For the woman, for the child, for the man
For the woman, for the child, for the man
Become the rage

I sing this song for Woman, Life, Freedom
From the green of the green fields
To the pale of the white clouds
To the scarlet, of your blood
spilled, on this ground
Woman, Life, Freedom
How thankful we are, O tall cypress
Outraged daughter of hope
whose hair can't ever be chained
Become the rage
Become the rage
Become the rage
This version of Become the Rage was reinterpreted and produced by my good friend Carlos Enrique Rey with the support of other friends. I'm so grateful for people such as them who stand in solidarity and offer their voice. This means so much to me.

Together

October 2022
I made this song to stand in solidarity with my Iranian sisters and brothers during the protests of 2022. I sing the words that they have been chanting on the streets.
I shall kill
I shall kill
Whoever killed my sister
Whoever drenched the blade of Zahhak
in the blood of my people
Who, instead of flowers
sewed bullets onto your body
Whose Home of Hereafter
is burned by our people's rage
Your body and mine are one and the same
The eyes of our nights are one and awake
We will stay together
We will die together
We will take back Iran
We will take back Iran
