lyrics

Train tracks capture my train of thought, consciousness falls into unconsciousness, Varanasi City of the Dead. I arrived, in a cloud of smoke, goats and cows, human excrement; I’m getting lost amongst the freaks and the Sikhs, Varanasi City of the Dead.
Burning bodies, flashing lights, I’m taken in by the sights and sounds this is holly ground, Holly River, deaths cloud surrounds this town. Ancient ruins remain standing lasting centuries through war and weather. You better run before the grim reaper comes, Varanasi City of the dead.
Elephant man, reincarnation of Ganesh he’s there in the flesh, lord Shiva, Lord Buddha, I rode a boat out to see where the dead bodies float. I was awoken in the middle of the night by chimes and bells, human flesh eating hounds who howl at the moon. Doom, soon, looms!
