Lyrics:
A wind invades your slumber at midnight,
Bringing you poisoned gifts of progress,
Progress turns away from the fading lights,
Hiding from a crime unconfessed,
Through the trenches and noxious stenches,
Come the clouds of impending disaster,
Broken dreams and industrial schemes,
Innocent puppets with a corporate master.
Mothers without daughters,
Daughters without fathers,
Fathers without brothers,
Brothers without mothers,
Mothers without brothers,
Brothers without fathers,
Fathers without daughters,
Daughters without mothers.
In the city of lakes, the worst of our fears,
A nightmare flows in a river of tears,
A breathless state of corporeal greed,
A blindness to life makes the soul bleed.
Sister, your eyes burn with tears,
Never to wake up in the morning,
Brother, you are breathless with fear,
To forever live in mourning.
The heart of India shattered, bodies scattered,
The fabric of society tattered,
I ask you, what does it matter,
When there’s a profit to be made?
Mothers without daughters,
Daughters without fathers,
Fathers without brothers,
Brothers without mothers,
Mothers without brothers,
Brothers without fathers,
Fathers without daughters,
Daughters without mothers.
In the city of lakes, the worst of our fears,
A nightmare flows in a river of tears,
A breathless state of corporeal greed,
A blindness to life makes the soul bleed

A wind invades your slumber at midnight
Bringing you poisoned mists of progress
Progress slips away in the pale moonlight
Leaving only pain and distress
Through the trenches, the noxious stenches
Form the clouds of impending disaster
Broken dreams and industrial schemes
Render you victim to the corporate bastards
Mothers without daughters
Daughters without fathers
Fathers without brothers
Brothers without mothers
Mothers without brothers
Brothers without fathers
Fathers without daughters
Daughters without mothers
In the city of lakes, the worst of our fears
A nightmare flow yields a river of tears
A pestilence, made of corporate greed
The blindness to life makes the soul bleed
Sister, your eyes burn with tears
Never again shall you see morning
Brother, you are riddled with fear
Holding your child, who from the mouth is frothing
The heart of India shattered
Bodies scattered
The fabric of society tattered
Still, the thieves dismiss the matter
Profit locks compassion’s cage
