Cyrus The Great (Song)

In the honor of Cyrus the Great of Persia and his cylinder of human rights. Song written by Yalda Barzin, arranged by Reza Tajbakhsh, Vocals by Kaveh Rafeian, and lyrics by Pouya Zangeneh.

The Cyrus Cylinder is regarded as the first human right charter in history. It is a document issued by the emperor Cyrus the Great of Persia inscribed in Akkadian cuneiform on a clay cylinder.
Passages in the text, express Cyrus' respect for humanity and as promoting a form of religious tolerance as freedom.There are three main premises in the decrees of the Cyrus Cylinder:
• The political formulization of racial, Linguistic and religious equality,
• Slaves and all deported people were to be allowed to return to home and
• All destroyed temples were to be restored.
The inscription was translated into all six official U.N. languages in 1971 and a replica of the cylinder is kept at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City in the second floor hallway.

Lyrics:

Somewhere in the left corner of Asia
There's a beautiful country called Persia
It's the land of poets and history
Perfumes and spices and mysteries

It's where the earth first met the sun
And their love began
Then hope filled the hearts
And always stayed around

This is how the story begins
With a brave and righteous king
Creator of the best human rights slate
A peaceful soul known as Cyrus the Great

He was the first to set his people free
And let them pray god however it maybe
Throughout his empire he banned slavery
With the hope of wiping it off the history

Now it's been thousands of years
That his time has passed
Persia has shined through
And will forever last

For his wisdom remains
Keeping this land all allied
Like a star far in the skies
In horizons a light
In horizons like a shimmering light
