System of a Down - Holy Mountain Lyrics Meaning

I think, Some people are just plain dumb. I also think, that some people only have a small idea on what this song is really about.

Can you feel their haunting presence?

I think this is about when the Turks began the Genocide on the Armenians.

Liar, Killer, Demon
Back to the river Aras

This is about how the Turks Lied about their status in the goverment, Killer, Because of all the Armenians they killed, And Demon, Because what Angel would do something like that?

Can you hear the holy mountains?

I Think this is about how The Ararat Mountains, the holy mountains, used to belong to the Armenians, And now it belongs to the Turks.

Someone's mouth said paint them all red

I think this is talking about the Turk leader who decided that the Armenians needed to go.

They have returned
Resting on the mountainside

I think this talks about the Armenians when the genocide was over.

We have learned that you have no
Honor, Murderer, Sodomizer
Back to the river Aras

I think this talks about the Turks, And the after interpretation that they had left on people. Everyone thought that they were good until they realized what they were actually doing.

So We LEARNED That the Turks are assholes and shouldn't be trusted.

This is only what I think, But maybe it can help you put the pieces together.
