Persia: imperative and pertinent precursor to modern society. We often buy into modern propaganda about 'bad' things in faraway lands - but it's tragic that such a diverse, expansive, and influential part of humanity's past is so grossly ignored. Did you know that Iran (Persia) is one of the oldest continuous cultures on Earth? Did you know that Persian Zoroastrianism predates and influenced monotheistic religions that came after it, like Judaism, Gnosticism, Christianity and Islam?
Please read The Book of Kings (Shahnameh) and discover 1) how much of Persian culture is intertwined in yours and 2) the lyrical inspiration for my song casting you as a traveling musician in one of the richest, most colorful and prolific cradles of the human experiment.
lyrics
Gitano en Shahnameh
Shahnameh, Book of Kings, poem sings,
free will brings hope or disaster
Shahnameh, in that day, they would say,
choice persuades now and hereafter
Truth or a lie, each path chosen
We’re just passersby in this life
Strive, multiply, to the future be true,
follow hope, follow light
In your days, help the poor, open doors,
stop the wars now and forever
When you play, what you say, show a way,
guiding stray spirits together
Truth unifies, each word chosen
Imply, verify, exemplify, demystify
To the lowest be kind, purify, testify
Love the land, take a stand, lend a hand,
understand all that is noble
Find a true attitude, don’t exclude,
end the feud our family is global
Truth or a lie, each path chosen
We’re just passersby in this life
Strive, multiply, to the future be true,
follow love, follow light
Somewhere out there, on a border,
there are refugees seeking asylum
from persecution, destitution,
retribution for failed revolution…
Truth unifies – Demystify -
Somewhere inside a conscience denied,
actions forged into cold lies and resides
with obliteration, annihilation,
suffocation and cruel subjugation
Truth unifies, each word chosen
Imply, verify, exemplify, demystify
To the lowest be kind, purify

Using my voice & guitars with loopers, harmonizers & effects, I weave sonic sculptures from organic layers 'live looping’.
Nothing is pre-recorded. I draw from prog, metal & world influences to play songs & improv releases. I experiment to evoke the sound of the multiple instruments & rhythms I hear in my mind....more
I wrote every Citadel song, produced recording sessions, directed videos, wrote the lyrics, storylines and created the art. We founded the first ProgFest in '93, which is on 'citadelsongs' YouTube. Rejyna
