It is about how the / Hypnotize / Turkish soldiers became cold-hearted killers, liars and demons as they were /___________________/ ordered to burn down villages and to kill even women and children. Amongst the killed were also many of the members of System of a Down's family members. The river Aras is the river that runs at the border between Armenia and Turkey, and Holy Mountain refers to the mountain Ararat, the mountain considered to be biblical holy mountain, where the Ark of Noah grounded after the great flood, which was taken to be Turkish ground after the genocide.     Tuning: Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb C# G# C# F# A# D# Gtr I - Electric, Clean (lovely clean sound) Gtr II - Electric, Distorted Gtr III - Electric, Clean w/ Tremolo effect       Intro: 75 bpm 4/4 Gtr I S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S ||------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| ||o-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------| ||------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| ||------0---------0-----0-------0-----|------0------0---------0-------0---| ||o---0---0---0-------0---0---0-------|----0---0--------0---0---0---0---0-| ||--0-------0---8---7-------7-----/12-|-12-------12---8---5-------5-------|     1. 2. 2/4 S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S |---------------------------------|----------------------------------||-----------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------o||-----------------| |---------------------------------|----------------------------------||-----------------| |-----0-----0---------0-------0---|-----0-----0---------0-------0----||-----0-----0-----| |---0---0-------0---0---0---0---0-|---0---0-----------0---0---0---0-o||---0---0---------| |-3-------3---8---7-------7-------|-2-------2---3-2-0-------0--------||-2-------2---3-2-|       Gtr I, II 4/4 Db5 A5 Ab5 Db(octave) A5Ab5Gb5 E S.
