Enemies of the Khanate strung on hooks like pigs to slaughter
Heads will roll
Heads will roll, throats will be slit
Blood will flow like springs of water
Heads will roll
To the river red (across the Ochre Steppe)

A thousand fathers killed
A thousand virgin daughters spread
With swords still wet, with swords still wet
With the blood of their dead

Nurjan is upon us, he kills in silence after prayers
Genghis Khan is upon us, and he slays his betrayers
Thus still the fools of God will guard the city of our birth
Hold an ear to the ground
Hear the sound
Of Clamoring and horses stammer as their gallop meets the earth

A thousand fathers killed
A thousand virgin daughters spread
With swords still wet, with swords still wet
With the blood of their dead

A thousand fathers killed
A thousand virgin daughters spread
With swords still wet, with swords still wet
With the blood of their dead

Tomorrow
Tomorrow they will find us
Hide the children free of sin
We will meet their blades by morning
Protected only by our skin
Tomorrow we will find them
Seek the youngest of their kin
And we will meat them with our fury

And we will crush them all like vermin
And we will crush them all like vermin

    Song Meaning

    Obviously the song is centered around the mid twelfth century, in a time and place at which Genghis Kahn was ceonquering the majority of Asia. Though a famed warlord whom killed millions, Khan's battles were strategized and precise. The militia's attacks were brutal as depiected. They were fast, silent, and accurate often taking the enemy by surprise. I can see how their conquests would be as much like the massacres this song portrays. The line, nurjin is upon us is incorrect, it should be now Jin is upon us. For those of you who do not know, Khan's birthname was Temujin. When his father, a local chieftain, was killed there was a dispute regarding who would lead the tribe. By 1206, Temujin’s evident military prowess united the Mongol tribes and earned him the title of Genghis Khan. The part, clamoring and horses stammering as their gallop meets the earth is associated with the fact that his men each had three to four horses so that they could travel one hundered miles per day. Genghis Khan is upon us, and he slays his betrayers is quite accurate, as he trusted no one and given the means, would likely kill fellow soldiers. Tomorrow we will find them, seek the youngest of their kinis rather confusing. Either it means that they would seek out the children to kill before their family as I imagine this would be a rather terrible tactic for accomplishing a surrender or perhaps acquiring information, or they sought out children to become future warriors as children can witness terrifying things and not be affected, forget, not comprehend the severity of the situation, or not care. A child's trust can be gained easily and they can be tought war tactics easier than adults. This is likely what the song refers to.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
