about

Underpinning this song about the angry state of this world is an ancient Sanskrit prayer: lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu - may all the world be happy.

lyrics

Verse
A shadow is looming.
Seeping in through the cracks.
Probing our weakness.
Sitting poised in the dark.

Can you feel? Change is coming.
Can you feel? Sense the warning?

Chorus
The rage of our kind
Eclipses the light.
We scream we are right
from a pillar of blood.
In the heart of all a shadow grows.
We've traded our souls, to reign over all.

Verse
As hate turns to steel now
Can the end be undone?
We see only difference.
Look again see what's common.

Can you feel? Change is coming.
Can you feel? Sense the warning?

Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu.
Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu.
Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu.
Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu.

Chorus
And the rage of our kind
Eclipses the light.
We scream we are right
from a pillar of blood.
In the heart of all a shadow grows.
We've traded our souls, to reign over all.

Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu.
Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu.
Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu.
Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu.
