A friend has just sent me a beautiful music video dedicated to the memory of the murdered Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. Enjoy!
“My Hero” – Lyrics by: Hassan Tavakoli (VERSE 1) Chased by wolves, followed by a hawk; On the battlefield, you took your final walk; It took my breath when you said goodbye; But then again, heroes never die; Your final words were “stay the course”; Trust in God, the Ever-lasting source; Don’t give in to the enemy’s plots, Resist with faith, go against the odds; Your way I follow, O my hero!! (CHORUS) Unbreakable soul, unstoppable power, Until the last breath, you never surrendered. Unshakable faith, unwavering sacrifice, Make you the hero we’ll remember forever. (VERSE 2) Your blood was spilled, but it nourished my roots; I then became a tree with many fruits; The fruits are love, courage and resolve; You’ve made me a soldier, so you I salute; Your way I follow, O my hero!! (PRE-CHORUS) Your way I follow, O my hero!! (CHORUS) Unbreakable soul, unstoppable power, Until the last breath, you never surrendered. Unshakable faith, unwavering sacrifice, Make you the hero we’ll remember forever.
Thank you very much Saker!
I wish and your family a joyful Easter!
I don’t know where to put this comment so I’ll put it here.
Happy Orthodox Easter to Saker and everyone else in the Vineyard!!
A small anecdote: I boiled the Easter eggs in wine, and let them steep overnight. It usually gives them a wonderful deep violet colour. When I went to see my Easter eggs this morning I nearly cried. Instead of violet, they were almost black. It was as if they wanted to match the dark, gloomy mood in the world today…
I took one dark Easter egg in my hand and the wine crystals on the eggshell sparkled and reflected the light. It was as if they were saying, look for the silver linings! Black is the colour of absolution.
Hristos Voskrece!
