About Me


MP3 from from albums TEMPTATION and COLOR OF MY WORLD



&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Reviews:

*** "After 4 years from his Award winning album Color of My World, Elon has recorded his third album, Temptation. This collection of songs will involve the times we live in and the affect it has on our every day life. Elon is a master songwriter, integrating the soul of his ancestors with the will of his offspring's. One of the most influential artists to come out of the Diaspora, Elon was born in Armenia but his outlook on life covers the diversities of the world. His new album Temptation represents the quintessential Armenian in the Diaspora."

OPEN YOUR EYES

Written by Elon in commemoration of the Armenian Genocide - April 24, 1915
____________________________________________

These words shaped like spears are about to be spoken
The purpose is clear for those who have risen
To the cause of a trial a century old
But the terms are still senile to the rest of the world.

A trial of hate and constant denial
A thousand debates points of views so defile
But for those who have chosen to fight in this war
To receive condemnation is just fuel for more.

To all politicians and to those who have power
I put forward this question a question of honor
Do you not see the smears of your self-righteous minds
In the midst of your fears do you not see the lies.

Are you not done searching for the invisible sign
Or are you just pledging to pretend to be blind
Pretend that this chapter in the history tomes
Was like a weak whisper in the midst of a storm.

Pretend that you hear these words that are spoken
But refuse to adhere to the truth that is hidden
I do not seek for vengeance and hatred
Nor do I speak of intents that are slanted.

But this constant refusal to unmask your own fear
As you let the truth tumble year after year
I cannot stand still as you smear my objection
I will not be thrilled by your constant rejection.

My nation has suffered my nation has cried
But through all its endeavors our name has survived
And if you see me fallen where I can no longer write
Be assured that my children will continue this fight.

And they will carry this beacon as a sign of distress
And these words will be spoken for as long as it takes
And time will discern one calm April day
A new torch will burn and it will not be astray.

For a First Christian Nation we are only a few
This pen is our weapon our pride is our virtue
These words have been written without a disguise
What you read is an omen now, open your eyes.
