Music artist Kawehi shares her very unusual music video “NEDA” off her VOX album. The song is dedicated to Neda Agha-Soltan, a 26 year old woman who died by a fatal shot to the chest by Iranian authorities during the 2009 election protests. Her death was captured on video by bystanders, put on the internet, and went viral around the world. Neda became the face of Iran’s democracy movement – and the voice of women in Iran. The music video contains real footage from her death. (It is disturbing and mature content.) Also Everything you hear was a sound made by Kawehi.

Lyrics to NEDA by Kawehi

You know you’re screwed when you’re walking on shells
and fire’s burning like a demon from hell
In your lungs, to your tongue

When a teacher does his best to protect
but still a bullet finds its way to her chest
she said, “Burning, I’m burning!”

Feel the earth rumble no one’s safe –
on the streets of Tehran

You can take my eyes
But leave your stones in your gardens
Your rivers, your roads
You can take my eyes
You can claim that the way I dress
is offensive to your God

They want you gone and silent,
declare you a martyr and let the streets run violent
Do your best to comply
a pension for your lies

They said,
“Neda, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid”
“Neda, stay with me, stay!”

You can take my eyes
But leave your stones in your gardens
Your rivers, your roads
You can take my eyes
You can claim that the way I dress
is offensive to your God

I am responsible
I know that now
The laws are so simple;
you let what you allow
I know that now
A voice should be heard
You showed me why and how

“Neda, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid”
“Neda, stay with me, stay!”

You can take my eyes
But leave your stones in your gardens
Your rivers, your roads
You can take my eyes
You can claim that the way I dress
is offensive to your God

peace and love to all of you.
