Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song from 'Ayngaran' is a sharp socio-political commentary on greed, moral corruption, and the devaluation of human life in modern society. It critiques a world where money is prioritized over life and where people destroy each other for selfish gains, leaving hope buried beneath falsehoods and injustice. The lyrics call upon 'Ayngaran'—a symbol of divine justice and righteous action—to expose hypocritical disguises, eliminate predatory evil, and lead humanity out of dark times. It expresses a passionate plea for guidance, hope, and an end to societal night.
