استخونهات صدای پوکی میدن ، آواز گرگها رو دور آتش دوست نداری 
استخونهات صدای پوکی میدن ، همه گوش‌هاشون رو با ترس گرفتن 
من با صدای ستونهای تن تو، می‌‌رقصم ، می‌‌رقصم
من با جفت لبهای خشک و سرد تو، داغ میشم ، می‌‌میرم 
مزه دستات منو مجنون کرده، بیا بشین کنار من تا شب رو صبح کنیم
کش و قوس‌هات منو وحشی کردن، مثل گرگ دور آتش پنجه تیز کردم 
من با صدای ستونهای تن تو، می‌‌رقصم ، می‌‌رقصم
من با جفت لبهای خشک و سرد تو، داغ میشم ، می‌‌میرم 
من با ترکهای زیر پوست تو، آب میشم می‌میرم
من تو پهنای چشمهای شاکی‌ تو، غرق می‌‌شم می‌میرم
اخم تو ، روی من شلاق می‌‌شه
توی من فریاد می‌‌شه، نمی‌‌تونم ساکت شم
خنده هات ، مثل تیری تو هدف
منو از پا میندازه، چه خوب آزارم میده
شکارچی، توی دامت گیر کردم
مثل طعمه اسیرم، دلم می‌‌خواد بمیرم
شکارچی، توی دامم گیر کردی
چه طعمهٔ لذیزی، چه شکار شیرینی‌

The Hunter - شکارچی

This song is dedicated to a very beautiful soul.

By the hummingbird your father found a light
And with it he lit a fire deep inside your heart
Your mother with her wings gives you shelter
From the darkness and terror with all of her warmth and all of her love
This lullaby is bittersweet but one day you’ll understand
How blessed the world is to have someone like you
Baby noor baby noor
I’m begging you to breathe life into the shadows and the loneliest rose
Let the butterflies sleep and dream of spring
Winter will takes it toll, but patience is king


Your parachute will keep you safe
So don’t be afraid to fly as high as you can but don’t stare in the sun
All the diamonds don’t mean a thing in this transient life this moments all you have, all that you want is right in front of you
Baby noor baby noor
I’m begging you to breathe life into the shadows and the loneliest rose
Let the butterflies sleep and dream of spring
Winter will takes it toll, but patience is king

Hush now little baby don’t you cry
Mamas gonna keep baby right by her side
Hush now little baby don’t say a word
Your eyes are open just breathe and observe
Hush now little baby don’t you shed a tear
Your rays of light are cutting through fear
Hush now little baby this is not the end
The fruits of the stars will be ripe again

Lyrics:
Billy said he’s got it figured out again
Billy said he found a way out of the mess
Bill said the system was corrupt
Bill said the system was corrupt

Billy came from somewhere, Louisiana
Went around the world to mend a broken heart
Billy was living for the road…
Billy was living for the road…

Billy made love to a girl in Iowa
Met her in a bar in Des Moines
She was wearing a helmet signed by Elvis
That her mama got before the war
For her papa who never came home
So they sent a flag to her door
That she wears like a super hero
As she speeds up through the empty streets
That her daddy fought to keep so clean
From the monsters hiding over seas
From the monsters screaming on TV

Billy had a dream of flying aeroplanes
Cruising through the clouds above the rain
Billy didn’t want to drop no atom bomb
Billy just wanted to write a song
For a girl he met in Iowa

Billy never saw her face again
Billy never was the same again
And every time he sees another flag
Just remembers the story of her dad
And the helmet that he never had

Billy why you hiding behind the glass?
Billy why you running from the past?

امشب همون شبیه که من بدون تو خونه میرم

امروز همون روزی بود که قلبمو زیر پات له‌ کردی

مست و پاتیلم کردی مگه اینه رسم مستی و راستی‌

شاید فردا خوب بشه این جای زخم قدیمی‌ من

زنبور‌های تنبل روی شیروونی

عسل می‌‌سازند و من میدونم یه روز

نوبت من می‌شه که پرواز کنم

ملکه باغ رو نیش بزنم

اسمش همون اسمی که توی خوابم ول نمی‌‌کنه

پستچی هی‌ در می‌زنه من سر زیر بالش نفرینت می‌کنم

یه غریبه تو تختمه ملافه‌ها بوی تورو میدان

شاید فردا خوب بشه این جای زخم قدیمی‌ من

کندوهای خالی‌ برا منو تو
 
امشب تنهاییم و من میدونم یه روز

میری دنبال یه گل خوش بوتر

من می‌مونم خمار یه مشت عسل

گفتم نزن ، گفتم نشکن ، بالهای من

شدم یه زنبور تنبل روی شیروونی


Lazy Bee - زنبور تنبل

Music and Lyrics by Raam. Produced by Mike Schlosser. Drums Andy Shoniker. Bass Kyle Texeira.

Lyrics:

This path I walk alone,
With the burden of a hundred million other souls
Who are lost, 
Just as much as you and I 
You and I

Letters I've meant to send,
Are sitting in the corner of this dusty den
Just waiting for the rain
Like the ripples turning into waves

To cross over to the light
One must embrace the dark
Embrace the dark

The sweetness of the life we once knew
Is fading through the cracks of pillars
Made of sand,
Oh how we stand 
Ever strongly, 
In the face of this demon

To cross over to the light
One must embrace the dark
Embrace the dark
To find out who you really are...

باز یه روایتی ، از اون پینوکیو
که هیچ وقت آدم نمیشه
 
 لباس روباه ُ می پوشه قر میده
هی میدره گربه رو
 
با یه کت پشمی، که ده تا جیب داره
گول میزنه پری رو
 
دماغ عملی، لنزهای عسلی
خیال کرده آدم!
 
حالا پدر ژپتو
پشیمونه مثل خر
رفته تا ژنتیک بخونه
 
دنبال راه تازه است
از چوب آدم بسازه
یا چوپونی  برای چوبا
 
درخت ِ سکه تو باغش درو کرده
یه قصر قسطی داره
 
چوپونای دروغگو ، وزیر دربارن
چه خوابهایی که ندیدن
 
نی های چوپوناش ،از چوب بینیشه
اتوماتیک دروغ  میگه
 
توشهر بازی و ، تو شهرمسکونی
آدمی زنده نیست دیگه.
 
 
حالا پدر ژپتو
پشیمونه مثل خر
 رفته تا ژنتیک بخونه
 
دنبال راه تازه است
از چوب آدم بسازه
یا چوب بونی  برای چوبا

By April I noticed the lack of attention
Attention
The tensions are rising between us

Once I believed in the stories that we are
Destined
To carry the burden it’s hurting

But we both knew that you would run
While I was reaching for the gun
You left me with no choice but to
Put it down
Down
Down
down

By august I noticed the lack of affection
Attention
The rumors are crawling through my fingers

Lovers I’m told have to live by a code
Oh what nonsense
This story is getting too boring

If you don’t mind I'd like to leave
Just promise me you’ll never breathe again
This poisoned air will only
Bring you down
Down
Down
Down

Young man look at yourself
I said young man look at what you have done
Young man look at yourself
I said young man look at what you have become

This is not a test I am warning
This is not a test I am warning
Kingdoms fall before it is morning
No one's spared and mothers are mourning

Death to superstitious ideals
Sacred books and ancient chameleons
We are born under the same sky
And we shall rise just like the last tribe
Robespierre stop with the terror
The midnight flow of blood into the river

This is not the way it has to end for you and me
Too many heads have rolled at the bottom of the guillotine
No longer shall we drown in an ocean full of tears
Our children will be born with eyes bright and clear 

This is not a test I am warning
This is not a test I am warning
Kingdoms fall before it is morning
No one's spared and mothers are mourning
Burn the crown enough with the royals	
Spread the wealth and drown in the spoils

This is not the way it has to end for you and me
Too many heads have rolled at the bottom of the guillotine
No longer shall we beg to a cruel and bitter king
Reckless and devoid of love and sympathy

Show my signs of redemption
Show me we change


This is not a Test

When he wakes up from his sleep
They realize he’s gone too deep
There’s nothing left but empty seats
And hollow skulls with no teeth

Every now and then I see a sign of hope
And I try to keep it all together
Losing just a little bit of rope
That’s tied to the end of rotting dream

The tide is high and the moon is red
The best of us are left for dead
Well the bridges burn in the amber fire
And there’s no way back and no desire

The buildings have all collapsed
And all the saints are dressed as rats
The nomads have nowhere to go 
When the darkness starts to take control

Every now and then I see a sign of hope
And I try to keep it all together
Losing just a little bit of rope
That’s tied to the end of rotting dream
But everybody knows that the only way to go 
Is south of the border into places unknown
Where the stars meet the sands and the man 
Is burning bright

Every now and then I see a spark of light
That flickers in the shadows of the tainted minds 
While they’re slipping through the fingers 
Of the man in the silver suit
But everybody knows that the price was pretty low
As we sold what was left of our occupied homes
In exchange for a grave on a mountain full of gold

You can run you can hide
But in the end its all one ride
So we take and we maim
While we beg for another day 
This is all that we are 
This is all that we are 
This is all that we are 
This is all that we are


Best of Us

این یه ترانه ای مرده است
تعبیر قهوه ای تلخ
توی تفاله های یک کابوس

تعبیر خط خطی های
شعرای زخمی ِ کهنه
که زوزه میکشن تو گلوم هرروز

من اون ته فنجون
مثل مترسکی
که بین یه گله  
کلاغ گوشتخواره
دارم تکه تکه
می میرم
 
هرچی که مونده از سایه ام
می ریزه اون ته فنجون
دارن صدامو آتیش میزنن

ته مونده ی چشمامو
روی نیزه ها کردن 
گل می کشن بومیای قبیله

خاکسترم رُ باد
مثل یه لنگه جوراب
انداخته  رو صورتِ
ساعت دالی
دارم ذره ذره
می میرم

ته این فنجون
یه مرده داره میخونه
تو تفاله

ته این فنجون
قبرِ یه آدمک زنده به گوره

ته این فنجون

There was a boy who had a dream
About a world he’d never seen
Where the buffalo they roam free
With the nuclear submarines
There was a boy who had a dream
About a man who’d lead the world
Into the darkest of the nights
Where the shadows meet the void
There was a boy who had a dream
About a ship that’s sinking near
And there ain't nothing he can do
And there ain't nothing he wants to do
There was a boy who had a dream
About a diamond chandelier
Falling from the sky
Falling into his arms

Tell me a story before you put me to sleep
I want to believe in heroes 
Tell me the sun will shine again
the garden is dying with us

And the numbers they’re all wrong
And the light is turning off
And voice is getting far
And his hands are feeling numb
and the patterns don’t make sense
And the walls are closing in
And the drugs are wearing out
A million mile from home
And his time is running out
And the doctor is amused
This place looks like a zoo
There’s nothing left to lose

Tell me a story before you put me to sleep
I want to believe in heroes 
Will we become what we have  always feared?
A plastic and broken record
Playing forever for no one to hear
The jukebox keeps floating…

روز و شب به یادتم عزیزم به تو بند نفسم

بگو به من چی‌ میگذره تو دلت که بگیره آروم دلم

احساس من به تو لطیف مثل حباب، نمی‌خوام بیارم به زبون بترکه بره به بعد

عمق این عشق من به تو هست قدر دریا، دل من به تو بند مثل جون ماهی‌ به آب

بی‌ تاب این دل‌ من نمیدونم که بمونم یا برم

ای کاش می‌‌شد باور کنم، عشقتو، که بمونه اینجا دلم

من بلند و فاش میگم عزیزم دلم مال تو است تا آخر عمر می‌‌مونیم پیش هم

روز و شب میگذره با فکر اون چشمها، می‌‌درخشن تو سرم مثل ستاره تو آسمونا

قلب من گرم می‌شه با نور عشق تو مثل آفتاب که می‌‌تاب رو موج دریا

بلند و فاش اینو میگم ، به تو بند نفسم

بلند و فاش اینو میگم ، به تو بند نفسم

تا روزی که من زنده هستم، می‌‌تپه قلبم

برات

به تو بند نفسم

به تو بند نفسم

به تو بند نفسم

به تو بند نفسم

In a box, in a box
How I wish, I could think
Outside of this box
There’s a fox
There’s a fox

In a box, in a box
I am one with the rocks
And I know just how
To rock you out of your socks

In a dream, in a dream
I was sitting by a tree
And I was counting all
The apples and the oranges
For me

By the sea, by the sea,
I was waiting for a wave
So I shouted and I cursed
But all I got was rain

And I am standing on the edge
My friend
I am standing on the edge of it all

In a box, in a box
There’s a man with a clock
And he’s counting all the seconds
til the curtains drop

Well the lions chase the bison
And glasses are all rising
And the guest are looking handsome
For this lovely soiree

On a chair with a bear
There’s a naked little hare
and they're reminiscing all about
The melancholic days

Now I know now in know
Just how this story goes
It’s a twisted little tale
That I’d rather not know

And I am standing on the edge
My friend
I am standing on the edge of it all


In a Box

بی خواب و خواب آلود
مث ِ یه ابرِعلّاف
هی اینور و اونور میرم

بی حوصله ، بی نقشه
با صورت نشسته 
هی خودمو دلداری میدم

مثل  یه شنبه شدم 
تعطیل و خاکستری

خیلی وقته که دیگه 
خواب رنگی ندیدم 
حتی  
با عینک

خیلی وقته که دیگه
خبرخوب نشنیدم
حتی
به زور
سمعک


من به فکر گم شدن
دکتربه فکر درمون
میگه روزی سه دفعه
باید 
برم
دوش 
بگیرم

بی خواب و خواب آلود
دل میزنم به دریا

باز خواب خوب ندیدم
خبری نشنیدم
حتی 
زیر
دوش


Without Sleep - بی‌ خواب
