about

a-him-sa

[uh-him-sah, uh-hing-]


noun, Hinduism.


the principle of noninjury to living beings.

A term meaning 'not to injure' and 'compassion'. The word is derived from the Sanskrit root hiṃs – to strike; hiṃsā is injury or harm, a-hiṃsā is the opposite of this, i.e. cause no injury, do no harm.

"Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire." - Mahatma Gandhi

lyrics

These bright lights are not pretty.
Where are you kitty?
My house has disappeared.


These people must be crazy.
To destroy the folks who raised me.
Nothing is worth this recklessness


When you hurt them.
You hurt me.
And you hurt yourself.
When you kill them,
It kills me,
And it kills your spark as well.


I see glimpses of spaces.
Quite unlike these places.
Where I've lived all my life.


Crowded and filled with horror.
I'm looking for a door,
or, Some sort of escape.


It's not much better here.
There's blood in that man's beard.
Perhaps this is the end.


They take what ever measures
For such simple pleasures
Like my flesh upon their plate.


--Chorus


Bridge:
Will you deal with my incoherence
As I explain my ideals
I feel like ever since, this interference,
Things have gotten real.


You start yawning.
I hope you can understand
I stand under the awning.
Waiting for you to grab my hand.


But when you don't, I
just think about the time,
You got mad, took the knife,
In your hand and stabbed mine,
The attack we kept secret.
Would they even believe it?
I wish it was the only time
You crossed that line.
