Video by Dan from Rockology Designs Lyrics: Ganapati Bappa Morya Dirt and oil created form Infused with life; he was born to guard the gate. Dutiful son, a God made from clay Did stand guard as his mother bathed A warrior returns, a war did wage Dead he lay, the song of Shiva In a pool of blood he lay, the son of Shiva In a pool of blood he lay, beheaded Ganapati Bappa Parvathi wept, the promise of wrath The world will face her fury Till he was reborn Resurrecting the dead Son of God Shiva, he sent his army forth That fetched him an elephant head Fused together man and beast So he was born, Ganapati bapa, the Elephant God! And so the story goes, over a 1000 years old And so the story goes, the myth becomes a lie Today they celebrate his birth With great pomp and fanfare Disregarding mother earth While she cries, bleeds, despairs! Thousands of believers flock to the streets Hundreds of idols they carry to the seas Drown their God, satisfy their belief Destroying Mother Nature Thousands of heads adorn the beach For days after and after Dead flowers and empty prayers Mother did weep, she did despair The deafening sound of a thousand drums Heard in the distance the low rumbling hum Blocking the road, the infinite hordes Dancing they take to the streets The colours, they stain the streets Marching forward millions of feet The mass of humanity moves to the sea For the drowning of the Elephant God. The pretext of religion A bottle of booze Gang raped in the corner The screams are mute Is a God really watching?

Video By: Aakash Dwivedi Lyrics: God did tell you, the water is holy. God did tell you, I'll wash away your sins When you bathe your rotten self in the holy Ganges. Once a symbol of divine purity Bathe in it for the river cleans all A thousand years have passed The stench of your sins still remain I come as a child, murdered my mother I come with purity, bathed in sin I seek refuge, in palaces I live I am no sinner, unholy in wealth I come undone, a disease I am Do with me, whatever you will. For I remain, your symbol of ignorance For I remain, stain of your sin Destroy, Violate, Raping Unholy Bastards, Sinners, Contaminating the Ganges Defecate, Suffocate, Blessed Unholy Liars, Preachers, Contaminating the Ganges An effort to restore what once was A thousand walls do block the path Religion, corruption The mass of humans that bathe in their own faeces A lifetime of sins cannot be washed Away by just a belief and a river Justify your crimes before a false lord Justify that you are free from sin

Eat not the swine they do believe For it is Haraam and he commanded it Bleed the rest to death by their neck Justify the killing, justify Halal. The cost of the sacrifice remains the same The veil of ignorance that covers your eyes Sacrifice the son to a fictitious lord I promise you no lamb shall be slaughtered The Lord is but a wolf in sheep's clothing And you are nothing but the sacrificial lamb Benevolent, kind and all power a God we did devise What kind of cruel, sadist being demands a sacrifice What kind of black hearted God, takes a human life The sheep is just deceit, a story, a lie A thousand lambs to the slaughter And a thousand more to go The blood has soaked the ground Because your God told you so. The age old chapters of deceit, your God is a lie Lift the veil of hypocrisy and open your eyes Silence breaks the dawn The bleating of the bakra Sharpening the blade All in the name of Allah The innocence in their eyes Tied down for the sacrifice Swing the blade from up high Spill the blood for a lie.
