RAISE YOUR FLAG!

Dr.Ramin Pour Andarjani,M.D.,(1362-1388)

RAISE YOUR FLAG

WHEN POPPY OF THE WIND

SINGS WITH ROAR OF RIVER.

THE MEN OF "NO"

BRINGING NIGHTS OF LIGHT

TO THE CITY

TILL FRESH AIR

OPENS WINDOWS OF BELIEF

THEY HAVE THEIR LOVE FOR THE EARTH

LATELY FUTILE .

THE MEN OF "NO"

GOING THEIR WAY

WOUNDED

TO GOLGOTHA

AND BREATHE

A NEW SOUL

IN CITY'S BODY

TO BRING ABOUT

DANCES OF FIRE AND BLOOD.
