KALA PANI

Lyrics: Poetik Justis You are now tuned to the new revolution A bastardized nation in chains That lives in the shadows we build for tomorrow But it's never enough to see change Before we need pride we need shame Cause we hold the love of our elders in vain With the strength of our backs we dig graves So I write with the blood in our veins in each page Say it! Wake up call to the leaders Wake up all of your teachers Wake up all of your preachers They don't know but they need us Cogs in a wheel All staring down the bottom of a barrel of steel Gunfire For the Aatmas of the Mauryas, the Guptas, Mughals, Marathas Empire Come from a long line of kings and queens and of bloodshed Environment a constant state of unrest Cursed with the power to capture the heavens, play god and the devil 
 We hold our own breath in this empire of death We must never forget, we're all inside boxes We never detect cause we the new slaves with these ties on our necks The East is East, the West is West and never will they both meet Unless we lie crushed beneath our brothers feet I guess History repeats itself, yes we allow them to deceive us Brainwash, bloodshed, call them our leaders and vote for that evil party Kyunki dil hai Hindustani, Kala Pani They wanna take your dreams from you, they live and we sleep We scalp the heads of wolves and they call us mere theives I see the forest for the trees, when they try to turn a new leaf In the depths of the sea, is the truth that you seek You ran over farmers, they gave you their sacrifice Reminds me of time when famine was on the rise Profit for some meant death to the others Victims of famine, Bengal and Orissa Starved by the numbers, over a million This poem goes out to the souls of the children Who died on the ships where they chained us as slaves Set sail for our labour and turned us to ghosts And thus was born a brotherhood of the boat It's not just a quote but they tie your self worth to your Quotas and classes, we vote by the masses Taught our own selves to be blind to the questions Ignore all the answers, take no further chances We Vote for our masters but never master our mind Who's got the time to really stop and think it's all politics Play us for power, they poison the water We drink to our pain, we still linked to our chains Chaos and order, we curse every breath But we never reflect or trace our own steps In this empire of death we must never forget The blood that was shed, over thoughts and ideals I conquer my fears, I talk as a leader I walk with the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people I love as intelligent as they come, with hearts made of gold that pour over kindness, a people of culture, a taste of the finest, embracing our differences, living in harmony, 
dreams of a nation, the tryst with our destiny, never realized until we all unite. The East is East, the West is West and never will they both meet Unless we lie crushed beneath our brothers feet I guess History repeats itself, yes we allow them to deceive us Brainwash, bloodshed, call them our leaders and vote for that evil party Kyunki dil hai Hindustani, Kala Pani Lele jeev ke junoon, kaun hai yeh? Lele jeev ke junoon, kaun hai yeh? Lele jeev ke suroor, kaun hai yeh? Pata nahi par yeh duja insaan hai Pata nahi par woh duja shaitaan hai Pata nahi par yeh duja insaan hai Pata nahi par woh duja shaitaan hai Oh O MAIA Chaaya, Bada Ghor hai Kala Pani O Kaala Saaya Bada ghor hai Kala Pani O MAIA Chaaya, Bada Ghor hai Kala Pani O Kaala Saaya Bada ghor hai Kala Pani Dede jeev ab kasur, kin ka hai? Dede jeev ab kasur, kin ka hai? Lele jeev ke junoon, kaun hai ye? Lele jeev ke suroor, kaun hai ye? Tum bhi toh the unke sangat tu kaun hai? Tum bhi toh the unke sangat tu kaun hai?
