On the morning of November 4, 1979, people in the U.S. woke up to the news that 66 Americans were being held hostage by the Iranian Islamic regime. This happened with the full support of their leader, Ayatollah KHOMEINI. Since then, the Iranian terrorist regime and its allies like Hezbollah and Hamas have killed many Americans, Westerners and Israelies. The terrorists carried out the April 18, 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut and the October 23, 1983 truck bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks that killed 241 service members. They also bombed the Embassy annex in September 1984. The regime has continued funding and arming terrorism across the Middle East.

This is a song that Artillery wrote about the regime of the Islamic Republic of the ayatollah.

ARTILLERY: "Khomaniac" (lyrics)

He once appeared. A harmless threat. A leader wrapped in linen. United fools, bewitched by words, In pact with ignorance. A powermind, dictating thoughts, that leads toward his dream. To free the world, fanatically. Religious slavery. Khomaniac - your holy war is a tragedy. Fataliac - won't your God let you see. And lead by this, insane old man. From shah to battlefield. No one's too young, to fight and die. For what this man believes. Someone must die, insanity's alive. Spreads like disease, the virus increase. Khomaniac - your holy war is a tragedy. Fataliac - won't your God let you see. A voice in my ear says - "Khomaniac". Your killing is pointless - "Fataliac". The war is eternal - "Khomaniac". The outcome infernal. That voice in my ear says - "Khomaniac". Your killing is pointless - "Fataliac". The war is eternal - "Khomaniac". The outcome infernal - So die. He once appeared. A harmless threat. A leader wrapped in linen. United fools, bewitched by words, In pact with ignorance. A powermind, dictating thoughts, that leads toward his dream. To free the world, fanatically. Religious slavery. Someone must die, insanity's alive. Spreads like disease, the virus increase.
