Anīrān or Anērān is an ethno-linguistic term that signifies "non-Iranian" or "non-Iran." Thus, in a general sense, 'Aniran' signifies lands where Iranian languages are not spoken. In a pejorative sense, it denotes "a political and religious enemy of Iran and Zoroastrianism."
The term 'Aniran' derives from Middle Persian anērān, Pahlavi ʼnyrʼn, an antonym of ērān that in turn denoted either the people or the state of Sassanid Iran. However, "in Zoroastrian literature and possibly in Sasanian political thought as well, the term has also a markedly religious connotation. An anēr person is not merely non-Iranian, but specifically non-Zoroastrian; and anēr designates also worshipers of the dēws ("demons") or adherents of other religions." In these texts of the 9th-12th century, "Arabs and Turks [i.e. Turkmens] are called anēr, as are Muslims generally, the latter in a veiled manner."
In official usage, the term is first attested in inscriptions of Shapur I (r. 241-272), who styled himself the "king of kings of Ērān and Anērān." Shapur's claim to Anērān reflected the emperor's victories over Valerian and Philip, and staked a claim against the Roman Empire, the enemies of the Sassanid state. This is also reflected in Shapur's inscription on the wall of the Ka'ba-ye Zardosht, where the emperor includes Syria, Cappadocia, and Cilicia - all three previously captured from the Romans - in his list of Anērān territories.
Rain keeps falling deep inside mu soul
I've been here before...
Pain reaps harvests, here, inside my soul
I've learnt this before
Keep searching
Keep yearning
Keep holding on and then
Feel all that rain wash down the pain
There is hunger
There is power
It is greed's old refrain...
Here lies some truth:
There's betrayal of Mother Earth
There is bloodshed
There's confusion
Repetition, over again
Nuclear waste in our oceans
That's our mistake
The pollution
The delusion
The solutions are on display
Resolution
Revolution
Over and over and over again
I see the wisdom in the clouds remains
The reach to greater heights regained...
Like vapour heated by my heart in pain
Returns to join the sky's blue eyes...
My spirit seeks to join that cloud tonight
To find an angel analyze:
That all that matters is to rise above,
All that exists is in love...
Rain --- keeps on falling
Sun --- keeps on shining
Earth --- keeps on turning and turning and...
Clouds --- keep on rolling
Trees --- keep on growing and growing and...
Stars --- keep on glowing and glowing and...
Moon --- keeps reflecting from the sun
Water --- keeps flowing
Keep searching
Keep yearning
Keep holding the torch and then...
Keep learning
Keep hoping
Keep Love in your heart and then...
Feel the pain rise
Feel the pain go
Feel the rain falling and
Feel all this Love ---
Rain keeps falling deep inside my soul
Angel, don't be sorry, don't worry
This would happen anyway, I guess
Summer came, and we shared the days
Now winter's here and the wind has changed
Soon I'll be here on my own
Feeling like a
Monsoon baby
Monsoon baby
A complexed maybe
Rain - rinsed lady
Navigating towards you by airplane
Eating a local London-time supper
Winter went and the days were strange
But summer came and the wind did change
Finally you'll get to meet
Out little wonderful
* Monsoon baby
Monsoon baby
A ten moon lady
Monsoon lady
Monsoon baby
Monsoon baby
A seawind lady
Monsoon baby
* repeat
Monsoon baby
Monsoon baby
No more maybe
Monsoon baby
I'm lonely every boring day
I keep wanting to search for that scenery
Voices travel, passing by each other
But sighs fell into things that I couldn't see
When you're not here, it's unbelieveable
I've just now realized what the things are that are very important to me
If I can reclaim the things that I've lost
It's as though they're overflowing, and I'm still asleep
Staring at your sad looking back, I remember noticing that your eyes were closed
Gently touching your hair, we passed a long way through the night sky
Sinking back, I noticed that the thing that really attracted me was your sad eyes
Staring at your sad looking back, I remember noticing that your eyes were closed
Gently touching your hair, we passed a long way through the night sky
The smiling face that you spoke with is still left, the scent that you brought with you is still left
Tonight it's going down
In the styrofoam I'm drowning
I see marijuana mountains
And there's bottles all around
Ain't no time to fucking poutin
All this money should be fuckin enough, eh
I've been working all week long
I think this liquor has what's best for me
And I'm still reppin od, yeah
I knew it will be like this eventually
This is me cl and yg, riches right behind me
With some bitches down for anything
That be around the pase
Ain't stops till it bury
Purp next to the weed and
Bunch of yellow women, it's my type of fuckin party
You look delicious, let's go up
Who got the swishers, let's roll one up
Grab some tree and hennesy,
If you in to getting faded, follow me
Let's get done, done, done, done, done
Done, done, done
Let's get done, turn up, done, turn up, done
Let's get done, done, done, done, done
Done, done, done
Let's get done, turn up, done, turn up, done
Tonight it's fin to be a lot of me, a lot of you

Tonight it's gonna be a lot of que, a lot of booze
Wanna taste it
All these females get nasty, ah
And 3 of them just passed me with some mad shit
Prolly fuckin tonight

And it's just me and yellow mami

I know you love the thrill, thrill
As you hide behind your clothes
Do you know how to feel, feel
Does your daddy know you wipe your nose?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
But are we taking up, is it taking us? Right
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Fall, fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall, fall, just don't fall
You know what it is, you know what it is
just don't fall
Fall, fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall, fall, just don't fall
You know what it is, you know what it is
just don't fall
You a free bitch you take
The little that you know and ask for more
Remind me of a girl I had before
And your big macherade
It's easier for me to just ignore
You hunger for someone to come explore you
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Don't start trippin off the next round
Whoa, whoa, whoa
You don't need it, oh
Put that axe down, you don't mean it
Tell me that you focused, tell me that you mine
Welcome to canopus, baby are you high?
Tonight, I'll be in your mind, tonight
just don't fall
Fall, fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall, fall, just don't fall
You know what it is, you know what it is
So I'll start, my spirit free, I believe grounded
I went out and found it, the answer was right there
sometimes I wonder why I'm sitting here
Procrastinating with the moon beams, the answer I found there
Summertime I'm happy to sit in the sun
Melting in solar, the answer I sought there
* Comets fly and night is all you know
A messenger on a journey
A lesson is learned there
I said I wanna hold on - I'll choose life
I said that you must hold on
Hold on, hold on
Sometimes I wonder why I'm sitting here
Procrastinating with moon beams
The answers I found there
* repeat
I said I wanna hold on - I'll choose life
(Spirit of your heart don't let it down)
I said I wanna hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Give your heart to the drum)
Don't say that you won't know
Where ever you may be
(Spirit of your heart don't let it down)
You know you got to hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Give your heart to the drum)
Time (Everybody say) (x8)
I said I wanna hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Spirit of your heart don't let it down)
Don't say that you may be (I'll choose life)
You got to hold on, baby
Hold on, hold...
Don't say that you won't know
I'll choose life
(Spirit of your past don't let it down)
Staring at the old me, I must be dreamin'
Faded off the OD, and what I'm drinkin'
Girl what are we smokin'?
I'm way too fucking gone, save me
Could I really be floatin'?
Well don't leave me alone baby
(Love me now)
Until I tell you not to do it
(Gun me down)
Until I tell you not to shoot it, I'm numb
And so we go...
Higher, higher, higher, high
Higher, higher, higher, high
Higher, higher, higher, high
Higher, higher, higher, high
Dance around that pole for me
Throw all your clothes on the ground
Make a lot of noise for me
Take another shot right now, right now,
Right now, right now, right now
You want it? lie down, lie down,
Lie down, lie down, lie down
Ooh you like it babe, you like it baby
(Love me now)
Until I tell you not to do it
(Gun me down)
Until I tell you not to shoot it,
Ohh ohh oh ohhhh
Higher, higher, higher, high
Higher, higher, higher, high
Higher, higher, higher, high
Higher, higher, higher, high
It's amazing right? how it feels so good,
Ha... drums!
You seem to be hypnotized,
I can see it in your eyes,
You don't even realize,
We can drift into the sky
(And then we go)
Higher, higher, higher, high
(Can we get)
Higher, higher, higher, high
Higher, higher, higher, high
Higher, higher, higher, high
C'est tellement simple
L'amour
Tellement possible
L'amour
A qui l'entend
Regarde autour
A qui le veut
vraiment
C'est tellement rien
D'y croire
Mais tellement tout
Pourtant
Qu'il vaut la peine
De le vouloir
De le chercher
Tout le temps
Ce sera nous, d?s demain
Ce sera nous, le chemin
Pour que l'amour
Qu'on saura se donner
Nous donne l'envie d'aimer
C'est tellement court
Une vie
Tellement fragile
Aussi
Que de courir
Apr?s le temps
Ne laisse plus rien
A vivre
Ce sera nous, d?s demain
Ce sera nous, le chemin
Pour que l'amour
Qu'on saura se donner
Nous donne l'envie d'aimer
Ce sera nous, d?s ce soir
A nous de le vouloir
Faire que l'amour
Qu'on aura partag?
Nous donne l'envie d'aimer
{2x}
C'est tellement fort
C'est tellement tout
L'amour
Puisqu'on attend
De vies en vie
Depuis la nuit
Des temps
Ce sera nous,
Ce sera nous,
Ce sera nous,
Pour que l'amour
Qu'on saura se donner
Nous donne l'envie d'aimer
Ce sera nous, d?s ce soir
A nous de le vouloir
Faire que l'amour
Qu'on aura partag?
Nous donne l'envie d'aimer ...
Tous les efforts qu'on d?ploie
Pour ? chaque fois plus d'exploits
Qui ne vont
Pas plus loin que ?a
Plut?t que les performances
Je pr?f?re les apparences
Qui tombent
Pour te mettre ? nu
Succombe!
Il faut que tu...
Saches
Montrer le meilleur
De ce que tu caches
S'il est une valeur
A laquelle je m'attache
C'est ? la grandeur
De ton int?rieur
Tant de brillances qui s'effacent
Pour des plaisirs en surface
Enl?ve
Le vernis dessus
Et l?ve
Les yeux que tu...
Saches
Montrer le meilleur
De ce que tu caches
S'il est une valeur
A laquelle je m'attache
C'est ? la grandeur
De ton int?rieur
A la verticale
Des v?rit?s nues
Pour lever le voile
IL faut que tu...
Saches
Pour ton bonheur
Je ferai le pas
D'aller au meilleur
Et si je m'attache
C'est ? la grandeur
Yok?bed, Mo?se:
Parce qu'il n'est pas permis
De vivre en esclavage
Nous passerons nos vies
A contenir nos rages
A nourrir des rancoeurs
Qui armeront nos bras
Et qui vaincront nos peurs
Au moment du combat
Laisse mon peuple s'en aller
Rend-lui sa libert?
Laisse mon peuple partir
M: Laisse-le vivre libre
Vivre libre
Parce qu'il n'est pas ?crit
Qu'on ne peut rien changer
Nous tiendrons le pari
D'un jour tout bouleverser
De faire que les premiers
Un jour soient les derniers
Et de force ou de gr?
Voir nos ma?tres pleurer
Laisse mon peuple s'en aller
Rends-lui sa libert?
Laisse mon peuple partir
M: Laisse-le vivre libre
Vivre libre
Parce qu'il est interdit
De m?priser une ?me
Nous n'avons pas appris
A plier sous vos armes
Nous avons des violences
Qui dorment dans nos chairs
Et l'envie qu'elles s'?lancent
Comme des chiens sur vos terres
Laisse mon peuple s'en aller
Rends-lui sa libert?
Laisse mon peuple partir
M: Laisse-le vivre libre
Laisse mon peuple s'en aller
Rends-lui sa libert?
Laisse mon peuple partir
M: Laisse-le vivre libre

I'll die again, I'll go away, but I can't see where I'm going
I'll die again, you'll always stay, just so I'll love you
Take me away
I'm half way there but not right on time
I need a love, you are love
You're so consistent
You are alone the greatest love
I'm inconsistent
Open hands dripping blood, blood you're hanging
You hung for all my blackest sins, God it's killing me
Broken cross bloody cross, love you know me
You bled for all my blackest sins, Jesus you know love
Take my heart oh God, my hands raised to the sky
Take every part of me
I don't want to leave without this freshly cut incision, cleaned up
Father give me hope to glow within my eyes
We will write it on our wrists, in letters bold and black
And we'll say, tell us just what bleeding is
We need a love, you are love
You're so consistent
You are alone the greatest love
We're inconsistent
Father give me hope to glow within my eyes
Give me strength, to make it out alive
Give me hope to glow within my eyes
Give me strength, to make it out alive
Give me Jesus
We travel below the world of our conspiracies
But never shall we plead with peace
So tell me how, how can you believe
But still disagree
On the hills of this lonely destruction
You drag this on
But still expect sympathy
When death comes your way
The sky screamed, and it cried
But we crawled back into our holes
And we forgot where we were
Oh self, your sense of love is fading
And you aren't the world tonight
I'm frickin' dead
So preach on you lonely sinners
I'll show you what's more real
More real, than what you'll ever feel
You'll ever feel
I will burn this place down, I'll show you something real
I'll show you how your heart is hollow, you're so hollow
This place is dead just like your pointless beating heart
I'll show you how your heart is hollow, you're so hollow
The bricks became our bed, with hollow regret
And thus screams, "rest your head beautiful liars"
But who can sleep with blooded liturgy
Even with a side of death ridden sympathy
Because this life is a question
And we sleep where we want to
At the bottom of the sky
At the bottom of the sky
At the bottom of death
So death won't scream louder
Die alone, without regret
Sing this song on your last breath
The sky screamed, and it cried
But we crawled back into our holes
And we forgot where we were
Oh self, your sense of love is fading
And you aren't the world tonight
