Five years ago today, Neda Agha-Soltan (نِدا آقا سُلطان) was shot dead in the streets of Tehran by Basij militia. Hear her calling to free Iran in the song I kompozed dedicated to her martyrdom:
Neda's Song (Iran Be Free!) is a kompozition composed at Kompoz.com by artists around the world. It was inspired by the tragic death of Neda Agha-Soltan (نِدا آقا سُلطان) who was murdered by soldiers of the mullah's now in power in Tehran who to this day continue to repress the freedom-loving Iranian people. The martyrdom of Neda, a name that means "calling" in Persian, is a calling on the Iranian people to rise up and overthrow the Islamic extremist tyrants now controlling their nation. Let her memory never die and serve as a battle cry for Iranians struggling to bring liberty to their land.
On the street her body bled
As we watched her soul had fled
On the day that Neda died
At the moment of her passing
You could hear the angels cry
For the life that had gone by
Neda gave her life to bring forth liberty
She dreamed one day to see her nation free
Her call will break her people from
The chains that bound God's love
From the hearts of men
Don't you hear her calling to be free
Without warning one shot came
And struck her heart with perfect aim
To take a life that had no blame
Hear Neda's call for freedom's victory
In a land that couldn't bear
The price for truth her life has paid
Neda's life has not been lost in tragedy
Someday it will set her nation free
Neda gave her life so that
Her people find the strength to no longer fear
Enemies of love that made her dear.
Neda's life was lost for victory
She's the calling to be free
In the streets where Neda's body laid
Were sown the seeds of liberty
Neda's life was lost for victory
She's the calling to be free
In the streets where Neda's body laid
Were sown the seeds of liberty
Iran be free........
Iran be free........
Hear Neda's calling...
Iran be free........
Iran be free........
Iran be free........
Iran be free........
