Mr Morgen
 
Mr. Morgen, dance with grace!
Keep those foolish smiles on your old face.
Beside this honey, like a princess, you’re right to
feel you’ve just won your race.
Mr. Morgen, you’ve got love.
You’ve got the sense of being the man of her heart.
It’s time of fun, (but) no need to run.
You’d better not think how many time she’s  
been done!

Chorus: 
Mr. Morgen ,it’s your life,
but never try to ask about her lies.
Mr. Morgen, keep it tight,
but I don’t think you can feel so alright.

You’re already fifty.
Now want to buy, a younger lovely beauty sweetie bride,
but you were bluffed. 
For sure its locked. 
You have to find out that how much she costs.
You’ve paid a lot. It was your fault but you’ll never
be Sure about her womb or her heart.
I guess you will be doubtless so angry,
if you could also know entirely what I know.

Chorus: 
Mr. Morgen ,it’s your life,
but never try to ask about her lies.
Mr. Morgen, keep it tight,
but I don’t think you can feel so alright.

‘til the end

(I was) Down ,deep down,
self-forgotten, locked in my hole,
indifferent to all, 
unable to recall any sign or shape of my old dream.
Once in a while you blew, 
gentle as a breeze, 
you touched my soul and took me to the sky.
maybe somehow such as this..  

(I said: )
“Wait! Wait for a while! 
My feet are frail
(and my ) lips ‘ve become drained.
How can I be sure Indeed,
(that)anyone has ‘ever been inside of me?
‘cause I can barely remember my name..”
And then I saw the light, that broke through my sight 
(and) aimed well my heart.
So this way, my disguise was cracked 
(and ) you brought me back to the life again

You don’t have to calm my pains, like this.. 
You don’t have to touch my heart, like this
You don’t have to save my soul, always..
(but) just don’t leave me behind without your trace.

(I) have no idea, what will comes at us,
but I’m gonna deal with it all along the way.
Whatever it has to take or however tough (it) should be,
(I’m ) not gonna let our dream  fade away, 
or decay through the day…. ‘til the end.


.'til The End

We’ve  Sold  It!
When I was a little boy, we had a yard.
Somewhere to rest, that we kids could have fun.
But we’ve sold it, 
then we got two flats. Brilliant! 

When summers came, dad used to take us to the coast,
right place to sunbathe , to swim or (to) enjoy.
But they’ve sold it! 
Someone made it private beach.

Throughout  the city, (there) were once many trees, 
that caused all around fine weather and breeze. 
We had also rivers and that great lake. There’s no time to save them.
It’s too late. We’ve sold them!

When you take a look around (there’s) just constructions and their roar.
Buildings are getting too tall (that) streets never see the sun.
There’ll soon be no mountains, no hills (and) no land
 and we shortly find ourselves in the waste land. 
‘cause we’ve sold them and there is no doubt about it!

Now what’s been left  just wasted times in traffic jams or behind damn red lights,
crowded malls those are full of noise, frustration all day long by blowing horns.
It’s so hard to bring back the joy of  life by gulping down a handful of pills and drugs.
We’re not gonna find what we’re seeking for, 
In the middle of this concrete jungle.  
We’ve sold it!

From (the) moment (that) we’ve deserted  the environment and 
chosen brand new cell phones as the our-best-friend,
 no one  has time to share or talk.
When was the last time(that) together we’ve walked? 
We have to keep running in a losing race, 
that we should leave a lot behind for it’s prize.
To invest, to purchase, to pile up more, 
but we’re not gonna find what we’re seeking for.
‘cause we’ve sold it!

ONCE AGAIN

We Sold It

"Bootlicker " is a hardrock Song that has written and recorded by Ardavan Anzabipour in Feb. 2016 . The most aggressive track of whole second album of Thunder -called"Once Again"-  is critical about a sweet-mouthed character who always try to exploit other people by buttering them up and has been performed from 2017  in all of Thunder's concerts so far. The solo is written and performed by Mohammad Barzideh.

Bootlicker

You’re  always  by the  top men, the powerful,  the  rich and  the famous,
and  trying to flatter them, to let you take your slice.
Don’t take this status  as a chance that you have got.
It’s like sweets on a table, that pull  flies from faraway.

Try to stand  away, not far , just inches from the  throne, 
then we’re all gonna check the scene out , what you handle by your own.
Adviser, intimate  or companion and close friend. 
You can choose any name you will, but you’re nothing more
than a bootlicker.
You can smell trouble out, 
and it’s easy for you to find out which way does the wind blow ,day by day.
You  were a dirty hustler , whole your life, who knows how to hypnotize
and  cheat  those  stupid  guys  who  let you in. 
But I can realize, you’re always trying to butter up  and  rattlin’ on  fast and 
nonstop ‘bout how great I am!
Your lies and sweet talks, could not hide your filthy goal.
Soon or late, it’s gonna  show up  that it’s not real.
Just you’r  fake . You’re nothing more than a fucking bootlicker!

Bootlicker

MASHA 

you can not call it just an accident 
or shall I tell you how it happened ? 
I'm not sure what drew me up there, 
but I could feel it with all my senses 

I found it surely at first sight 
she was the one I must see inside 
It took just a few moments to find out 
there must be long long road ahead of us. 
... there must be long long road ahead of us.
 
little angel was so weary and tired 
but I was sinking through her blue eyes. 
Delicate sound of her was soothing me 
I could not imagine where I was! 

Such a golden silky hair my angel had 
so I was losing my faith in there. 
not very good in English both of us, 
there was no need to talk too much! 
Can I hug you tightly one more time ? 
Can I touch your heavenly skin? 
Can I kiss your lovely lips again? 
I miss you too much! 
she told me : " just imagine ,we will meet tomorrow again. 
this is not ,the last time " 
(I said:) "maybe somewhere in God's land" 
Can I hug you tightly one more time ? 
Can I touch your heavenly skin? 
Can I kiss your lovely lips again? 
I miss you too much!

Masha

MADIBA

There was a man, who was in grief 
His people lived in misery.
There was a man, who believed, it’s not the world once wished to be.
He said it may seem like a dream, but if we aim to be free,
you will see our dream could be within reach.

There was a man, who had to fight 
(but) instead of  gun, he chose to shout.
Men of anger sent their cops, 
tried to silence him (and) locked him up.
They hoped as time goes on, his voice and thought fade out
and he kneel down in the end or his bones decay in jail. 

But he lived through the years of suffering, 
and all those lasting pains.
His words ’re heard by mankind and made their hearts unite.
“Colors, races and bloodlines, are the borders were made by pride.
If we let them grow in our minds, could make us a bunch of blinds.”

When the time of justice came, he put his grudge and hate aside.
(He) lent a hand to his shamed down foe, said I forgive you, 
but do not forget all those pains, hurts and misery that my folks 
have undergone.
 
After all long years of suffering, and all those lasting pains,
his words ‘re heard by mankind and made their hearts unite.
“Colors, races and bloodlines, are the borders were made by pride.
If we let them grow in our minds, could make us a bunch of blinds.”
There’ll be no peace or calmness until we can forgive. 
It’s the only way to stop (our) long repeated revenges.

Madiba

Stranded

Did you expect so? 
Is this what you needed? 
Can you fool yourself now and turn a blind eye ?
Delusive mirages, flying around doubts,
You Still pretend it , is it what you dreamed of ? ,stranded.

Wear your mask, everyday, 
Put on the grins on a drained face,
(You’re) trying to beat the emptiness down, but it overflows from
your eyes. 
(You’re) chasing the lost hopes and ignoring your fault, 
but lacking the essence of life  in your heart.
From time to time it reveals itself and I know what’s going on
down there. 
 
This is the time.
It’s not over yet 
You should stop it right now, 
Get back to yourself my friend.
Call for help now! 
You still have the chance.
I can hear your heartbeat 
and I do believe in you 

Every try to start again means (that) you’ve not yet lost the game.
(We) never regret what we’ve done, 
but  what we’ve left behind undone!

This is the time.
It’s not over yet 
You should stop it right now, 
Get back to yourself my friend.
Call for help now! 
You still have the chance.
I can hear your heartbeat 
and I do believe in you

Thank You Sir!

My eyes are glued to the T.V. set
like a prisoner chained to his fate.
I’m sick and tired of checking the news 
or following it the whole day.
Anxious about facing the crisis.
Oh, God, there’s no hope. 
We lose, you talk, We die, you talk
It sucks, you talk  and it looks like a modern game.
I’m only’ a simple guy,
But I remember all your words.
You promised us better life,
Instead you’ve ruined all.

Thank You Sir. you let us down.
Thank You Sir. you broke our lives.
No one never asks you why,
Cause we have no right. 

The fear of  living under poverty,
like a vulture above your head.
We’re going down every single day and 
watching you idiot, who’s stuck with those silly bullshit.
Who knows how long we can undergo this real bloody chaos?
We fall, you lie. We crack, you lie.
We’re Broke, you lie.
Do you think, it’s a funny Play? 
I’m only’ a simple guy ,
But I remember all your Words.
You promised us better life,
Instead you’ve ruined all.

Thank You Sir. you let us down.
Thank You Sir. you broke our lives.
No one never asks you why,
Cause we have no right.
Thank You Sir. You’ve cheated us.
Thank You Sir. You’ve robbed our Trust.
How do you account for, the stuff that has messed things up?

Crisis, Collapse, inflation, 
Currency depreciation 
Do these arouse your sensation? 
You won’t see my capitulation

Thank You Sir. you let us down.
Thank You Sir. you broke our lives.
No one never asks you why,
Cause we have no right.
Thank You Sir. You’ve cheated us.
Thank You Sir. You’ve robbed our Trust.
How do you account for, the stuff that has messed things up?

Damn you!

Rocking Man

Weird, deranged, strange or odd, 
These are the marks that you give me here and now.
Freaky, crazy, nervous or insane.
Words are pouring down like rain.
Affairs such as this will never change,
‘cause you’re not gonna stop your blames
so I’m going my own way too.

I used to deal with your expired believes, clichéd, routines.
Those are just same as they’ve ever been.
I’m driving you mad, disturbed (and) upset 
and making you ready to attack. 
But you’ve left me a one-way track.
It’s to stand fast and fight you back.
Now it’s time to make all vagueness clear.

Whoever you think, yes I am!
Whatever you fear, yes I do!
Whatever you guess, yes I can! 
Here comes a Rocking Man!  

It’s so easy to judge, deny, whatever you can’t understand
(and) pretend to know it all.
Just same as my behavior, my talks, my lifestyle and thoughts.
Yes these are all that you’ll never ever figure out.
And now you feel free to open mouth, and to start criticize. 
But beware! My life is far from what you realize.

Whoever you think, yes I am!
Whatever you fear, yes I do!
Whatever you guess, yes I can! 
Here comes a Rocking man! 
Whoever you think, yes I am!
Whatever you fear, yes I do!
Whatever you guess, yes I can! 
What are you expecting then? 
Here comes a Rocking man!

So Called Artist
You couldn't even imagine this, people  have gathered just for you.
You can see their applauses , wherever you go.
Red carpet rolled under your feet, big smiles and shinning teeth
waving hi proudly right to their faces.
No matter it's not true, but your " desperately moan"!
Has made  the  whole world oh, pity  you. 
There's never lack of fools. your shows are your best tools.
words are louder than actions, I promise you.
But someone  is screaming loud at the bottom of your heart
and you can hear it so clearly. You're a great cheater man,
whom people think they know ,so called artist 
In all of  public games ,opportunists just like you finding new ways
Who has  calls them, I don't know?
Have you became a nice man, or its just a new trick for us?
It ‘s  a part of  your plan, that makes your pocket full.
War, injustice, politics, crimes make no  sense in your mind
but they could  bring at least new dollars in your hands.
Cover your  gaze or take  it  some place else,
'cause no one must see those lying eyes, even if you do not care.
You’re wearing  a mask, to do those  wicked tasks.
Don’t make too much noise, You’ve got your real face in back
and when you get to do  what you  pretending  all days,
the truth will shine through.

Once Again 

Air fills every vacuum up.
Stream causes heat, as work is done.
Does it seems so different (than) our pitiful lives? 
When you feel a lack in soul, it sucks hate and fear in whole
and there’ll be no doubt about (your) coming strike.
It would make perfect sense to me at all.
(I) got to the bottom of your repeating assaults.
You’ve just made it dead end, but still want to try,
want to try once again.

It’s too easy for you to talk,
to point your finger at me and charge (me) with leaving you
exposed and helpless in the lurch.
I’ve been blamed from time to time for “likely plan to keep you off ”
or  “he’s an artist and needs more source of love!” 
Am I truly just fine in theory, but no more? 
You’ve never brought any reason for all these empty words.
You really need no proof, No.
(‘cause ) you just feel in this way , in this way and complain once again!

I just try do my job all my life.
(I) never mind what you believe or your thoughts.
I know it’s hard for you to sit and watch 
that I’m well and alive once again!  

I just try do my job all my life.
(I) never mind what you believe or your thoughts.
If some things never change, you can’t complain my friend, 
‘cause you wanted it in this way. 
I know it’s hard for you to sit and watch 
that I’m well and alive once again!

The solo has written and performed by Mohammad Barzideh.

  Another Thing


Another normal sunny day, once more I can’t feel so good
Things seems perfect again, it’s just like one more play.
People’s life (are) day to day, (they) try to find golden egg
And our honest man, who’s always tried
Can’t tell us wrong from right.

They say, they do their best , to run from poverty.
(They) never think what they may loose
All they see is the top of their nose.
After all these hard years ,(now) I’m standing at same place,.
I always want to know, what I am here for?

I can’t hear. I can’t talk. It’s a cave , full of dark.
I can’t see. I can’t count. I can feel it (just) in my heart.
I believe it. It’s not wrong ,there is last hope in our mind.
Please, please God help me. You can tell me shall I rise?
  
This is a race without winner ,but you can find so many looser.
All our time has gone astray and our dreams are world away.
It doesn’t matter, we played so bad, with the best gift we’ve ever had.
But  at the bottom of our hearts, we’re deadly sure something is lost.

Another Thing

Neither You Nor I    

Well , you believe (that) you’re right, and  no matter other opinions.
You just claim as the owner of (the) truth.
(Are) all the answers in your pocket?  
How did it come in your mind, (that) you’re the holy one who matters?
There’s no need to inquire more. : “ Just do what was said!” 
No, never, I won’t take part in your bloody wasted game
Don’t even try to change my mind, (‘cause) I’ve seen behind your curtain.

“The Sacred path”, “The Holly Signs” 
were shown to neither you nor I! 
Eternal codes or riddle of life,
were cracked by neither you nor I!

You’re always used to disregard other thoughts, minds (or) whatever.
(but) I don’t think that you could come’ up with anything better.
Open (your) mind and look around! Life is not’ like your thoughts.
But you can never touch it ,until you let  in  doubts

“The Sacred path”, “The Holly Signs” 
were shown to neither you nor I! 
Eternal codes or riddle of life,
were cracked by neither you nor I!

Our world is worn weary like drained souls of us
Rivers flow with those tears that we’ve painfully shed
Hell is just nothing more than sparks of our (vain) wrath
But Heaven (is) not too far, it’s just a little while of peace and quiet time we gain,
(That) we never take it!

“The Sacred path”, “The Holly Signs” 
were shown to neither you nor I! 
Eternal codes or riddle of life,
were cracked by neither you nor I!

بزن ساز
خواب است و بیداری توامان، 
عشق است و بیزاری
درگیر اتلاف پررنج این ساعتهای تکراری

روز و شب پشت هم می آیند و دائما می نالی
که چه شد خوشبختی و کجاست آن زندگی رویایی

در حین دویدن و فتح این قله های نامرئی
چیزهایی رفته از دست، که بعیده برگردند

در آیینه ات هم که می نگری هر روز نمی یابی
جز غریبه ای بی روح که داره رختهای تورو بر تن
 
بزن ساز ، بگو فاش            بشکن این حلقه از بنیاد 
سبکبال  چو   ما   باش            نوای روحت را دریاب
 
بزن ساز ، بگو فاش            بشکن این حلقه از بنیاد 
چو رودی روان  باش             ببر دغدغه ها   از  یاد

دنیای قلابی
سالها پیش ازین شروع شد ،از مارکهای قلابی
اون رقابت دیوانه وار ذهنهای توخالی.
تقلید از در و دیوار، قانون بازی.
همه مسخ و بی اراده مثل یه مترسک پوشالی
کم کم افکارمون هم شدن دچار بیماری
همه چیزمون گرفته بوی این هویت قلابی

شکلهامون عوض شدن با ماسکهای فرهنگی.
هرروز نمایش جدیدی رو صحنه می بریم. 
رفتارمون مثل عصر حجره، سوادمون کمتر
ولی عاشق گرفتن ژست  "پسا- روشنفکری".

همه شاد وراضی ، دنیای قلابی!

ما استاد شکایتیم، ساخت فلات از کاه،
لبخندهای قلابی ، دهن های پر مدعا.
فقط یه ماشین مصرفیم ، شعار پشت شعار
کمی جابجا نمی شیم و از همه دنیا طلبکار

این اوضاع هرروزه ، انکارش هم سخته
این دنیا رو ما ساختیم، حقیقت گاهی هم تلخه.

همه شاد وراضی ، دنیای قلابی، دنیای قلابی.

همه شاد وراضی ، دنیای قلابی،
همه گرم بازی ، با نقشهای تکراری 
تو این دنیای قلابی

Donyaye Gholabi

Thunder, is an iranian rock band that formed in 1998 by Ardavan Anzabipour (singer-songwriter)
They began their first concert, by playing cover version of well-known rock music(March 1999) and the first period of Thunder activity ended up to its first instrumental album in 2000. Between 2002-2009 Ardavan’s involvement in Exir and Kahtmayan ( Iranian Metal bands)did not leave him with enough time to pursue his projects with Thunder. Finally in winter 2010, he turned back to his Rock-Country idea in form of new line up of Thunder.
Line Up
From 2010 to 2015 due to shift from Country-Rock to Hard Rock, some changes happened in Thunder’s line up but main core of the band remained firm . Bita Sadeghi (Guitar 2010) , Aydin Anzabipour (Drums  2011)  Mohammad Barzideh (2011) by playing Guitar, Harmonica, Mandolin, Percussions and Keyboards. Also from the winter of 2016 Kaveh Vaziri joined the band as a Bass player.
Concerts
Thunder performs only original tracks and they try to perform a proper rock show with acts, light and good sound in their live performances, which never allowed and seen before in Iran. By summer of 2019,Thunder has performed about 30 concerts (40 shows) in Iran and abroad (for example Ukraine, Turkey, U.A.E. and Cyprus). They have produced 6 DVD of their concerts that have not released yet.
Albums
Between 2010 and 2014, Thunder could be called as a Country-Rock band and their first album     “ Rockin’ Man” (2015) sounds like that (acoustic guitar played main roll in almost all songs) .By summer of 2015 the band shifted to hard rock gradually and second album “Once Again” (2016) is complete Rock -in some point even Hard rock- album. More aggressive and critic lyrics with changes in Rhythm Guitars from Acoustic to electric! But after 30 months work prohibition in Fall of 2016 they came back on stage with new  idea. The third album “Menhaye-sefre-motlagh” (Minus Absolute Zero) supposed to be written in Farsi not English! Throughout 2017 they worked on writing of new album and recording session ended by winter of 2018. Early 2019 they started to write new tracks for next album.
