“One of the many fables of the Shahnameh, the Persian book of Kings, concerns the folly of rulers who jealously extend their empires despite the warnings of their own people. It is during this tale that he is warned not to go to war with the demons of Mazandaran.”
Lowen’s Bandcamp page for this tra...
Let this be the death of silence
Let the flame reveal what was taken
May the long dominion come to an end
For creation has turned against itself
Translated from Farsi:
What speaks the flame?
Do not go to war with the demons of Mazandaran
Greed will blind, darkness bind
Div e sepid marches close behind
Poisoned by the serpent’s lies
Div e sepid marches close behind
Death is the only freedom
Man has grasped this well
March, march to lands set with jewels
Pluck them from the earth like glittering eyes
What speaks the flame?
Do not go to war with the demons of Mazandaran
The White Demon is near
What speaks the flame?
Translated from Sumerian
I have seen the empty harbour of Ereshkigal
What lies in the space between all things?
The secret whisperings of fire
From a god they forgot
What speaks the flame?
DO NOT GO TO WAR WITH THE DEMONS OF MAZANDARAN
