2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Holy Mountains is about the Armenian Genocide "Back to the river Aras" Aras is a river rising in Anatolia in Turkey, flowing along the Turkey-Armenia border. Holy Mountains most likely refers to Mount Ararat, the national symbol of Armenia, that was taken by Turkey in 1915 "Someone’s mouth said paint them all red" Clearly refers to the order given to arrest and kill many Armenian . "HONOR! MURDERER! SODOMIZER!" Refers to the murder and rape of Armenians during the conflict. I'm submitting the corrected lyrics, also.

Altho just because of that minor change, i cannot say that system of a down is no longer the greatest band on the face of this planet... in my eyes. ROCK ON SYSTEM OF A DOWN!!

18 posts	This is by far the best song on Hypnotize. It's freakin' GREAT. VictimOfADown I agree that the song is an awesome one but I need to correct your mistake. Serj Tankian has ALWAYS been the lead singer, from day one. It's only recently that Daron Malakian started taking a bigger role in the singing and songwriting for Mezmerize/Hypnotize. He may sound a little different then his earlier songs but that is probably because he is older and his voice has changed microscopicly.

302 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal all you turks that say that armenians did that, well, i say, WHO CARES, Ottman Empire ruled over their lands, you expect them to sit back and relax ?!, much like palestine and israel, no one can say that palestine shouldn't fight over their lands. anyway, you started this whole idiotic mischif in the middle east, Ottman Empire had a weak army, so England took Egypt, then WW1 started, England took advantage of the arabs and never finished the deal it wrote with the arabs. if any country invades turkey now and conquers it, i EXPECT you to fight over it, or would you not ?!

5 posts	well they can think we killed them or dont. its not a problem. its all about u cant curse a nation. be sure in Turkey lots of people think 'armenias killed too many Turks' but we havent done a song like that.its all about being respectful! too many armenians livin in Turkey friendly.however songs like that make us hateful to eachother.

302 posts	no i don't think they make us hateful, i'm in one of the countries that was once in the Ottman Empire, but i don't HATE turks, i hate Ottmans , anyone, man, history is history, it's not the point of who killed who, it's about who occupied who .. and it's history, you can't deny it, i mean, look at Germany, they can't deny what happened, but i don't think alot of ppl HATE germany today, i got some jewish friends, and they don't mind even living in germany

302 posts	and again, i am arabic, i'm moslim, but i don't HATE israelis, i don't LIKE what the prime minister is doing, i don't like the COUNTRY's attitude towards me and ppl like me (arabs), but i don't hate anyperson, and i got jewish friends, i don't mind all wars and occupations and stuff are about Ego, personal Ego, if they wanted Nasrallah and Olmert could stop the bloodshed in 4 seconds, but hey, they think they are true "men" that are better than most of us. killing is always bad, it dosen't matter why, where, when. (even self defence, did Adam and Eve's son defended himself when his own brother killed him ?!) i don't believe in god that much, but for the people that DO believe in god, please, READ and UNDERSTAND your book, the qoraan dosen't tell ppl to go and blow themselves up, understand that.
