New song: Democracy dies when the West arrives

NOTE: Censored by Spotify and DistroKid!

Democracy dies when the West arrives, on YouTube:

Lyrics

(Intro – Spoken softly over ambient beat)

They say Iran is run by fire,

But they light the match and sell the wire.

They fear our minds, not our might —

And call it peace when they kill the light.

(Verse 1 – Beat kicks in)

You gave the Taliban the stage,

Like freedom's just another cage.

You shook Jolani’s bloody hand,

Then preached of peace — we understand.

In Syria, you backed the knife,

In Iraq, you stole the life.

From Beirut down to Tehran,

You hate each free and ancient land.

(Chorus – chant with drops)

Divide and rule — that’s your plan,

Crush the child and kill the man.

Zarif said peace — you brought a war,

Khatami dreamed of peace — you slammed the door.

(Chant – repeat)

It’s not the Mollahs that you fear —

It’s when reform is getting near.

You back the ones who shut the door,

Then blame Iran and ask for more.

(Verse 2 – melody rises)

President Pezeshkian stands tall,

A surgeon with a heart for all.

But day one, what did they do?

Israel struck — and then began a war.

They feared his talks, they feared his voice,

So they bombed the world’s real choice.

You hated reform, not the regime,

You backed the nightmare, killed the dream.

(Bridge – intensity builds)

From Mossadegh to the nuclear deal,

Every chance for peace, you tried to steal.

Our foreign minister drew it clear,

So why’d you crush it out of fear?

You say Iran is wild and dark,

But it’s your hands that left the mark.

You fund the bombs, the cults, the lies,

Then act surprised when millions rise.

(Chorus – heavier bass and chant)

Divide and rule — this is your way,

You want us torn so we obey.

You crushed Khatami’s hopeful dawn,

Then praised the ones who bomb at dawn.

(Chant – repeat, louder)

Zarif said talk — you gave a drone,

Our minds rose up — you threw a stone.

Democracy in Persian land?

You’d rather see it ruled by hand.

(Verse 3 – fast rhythm)

Ahmadinejad? You said okay.

Reza Pahlavi? Give him a stage.

Rajavi’s cult? Invite to speak.

While real reformists, you make weak.

Why do you fear the ones who heal?

Why kill the ones who make things real?

Iran’s young minds want open skies,

But all you do is spread more lies.

(Breakdown – slow, haunting)

You cheer when Gaza kids are burned.

When Palestine cried, your eyes turned.

When science dies from bombs and hate,

You say, "too bad, but that’s their fate."

(Final Chorus – anthem drop)

Divide and rule — but not for long,

We rise with rhythm, voice, and song.

From East to West, we call you out —

The world is tired of your doubt.

(Chant – fading out with echo)

Zan, Zendegi, Azadi — true.

Not just a slogan you misused.

A people’s voice, a nation's cry,

No more puppets, no more lie.

I suggest you to read another article that I wrote earlier: The West attacked Iran, because they don't want Iran to have democracy. In that article, I explained how every time Iranian people get close to reform or democracy — from Mossadegh to President Pezeshkian — Western powers intervene, directly or indirectly, to sabotage it. Whether through coups, sanctions, or support for hardliners and foreign attacks, the pattern is clear: democracy in Iran is treated as a threat, not a goal.
