When I said I would love you forever, And you thought it would only last as long as we were together, Fought the past in the past, lost, but it made me better, Had to feel love to feel loss, yeah feel that now more than ever, You're Never gonna be lost, Your fire burns beneath the frost, an Empire built between my thoughts, Crisscrossed across the line that Can't be crossed, A million memories in this melody singing to me, Smile: this is the way it's meant to be Hazaaro kaanto Se bichi un raho (On a path riddled with a thousand thorns) Mein tu hee akela Sathiya (You were my only companion) Har saas mein (With every breath) Har haas mein (With every smile) Dhadkan ki har awaaz mein (With every sound of the beating heart) Jalta amar tera diya (Your undying fire burns ever-brighter) Meri yaado mein (In my memories) Meri baato mein (In the words I speak) Tu jiyaa (You live on) Teri aankho ki ankahi chaah mein (within the unconditional love in your eyes) khud se mila (I found myself) I see your coming as a gift, not your leaving as a curse, And even though it hurts it makes me feel like I'm one with the universe, Steady and more than ready to ride, you're the angel and my guide, a part of the spark and the power inside So I go on the attack and I'm gone, Lil' look back for bit but I'm still moving on, To a story on a canvas yet to be drawn, Of a child of the night but I fight for the dawn On and on, on and on and away, Singing we may be gone, but what we have will always stay Har saas mein (With every breath) Har haas mein (With every smile) Dhadkan ki har awaaz mein (With every sound of the beating heart) Jalta amar tera diya (Your undying fire burns ever-brighter) Meri yaado mein (In my memories) Meri baato mein (In the words I speak) Tu jiyaa (You live on) Teri aankho ki ankahi chaah mein (within the unconditional love in your eyes) khud se mila (I found myself) Hazaaro kaanto Se bichi un raho (On a path riddled with a thousand thorns) Mein tu hee akela Sathiya (You were my only companion) Do you remember? When I said I would love you forever, And you thought it would only last as long as we were together (x2) Har saas mein (With every breath) Vishvaas mujhe (I still believe) Apaari sagar mein bhi (Even in shoreless seas) Tu paas mere (You're here with me) Har saas mein (With every breath) Har haas mein (With every smile) Dhadkan ki har awaaz mein (With every sound of the beating heart) Jalta amar tera diya (Your undying fire burns ever-brighter) Meri yaado mein (In my memories) Meri baato mein (In the words I speak) Tu jiyaa (You live on) Teri aankho ki ankahi chaah mein (within the unconditional love in your eyes) khud se mila (I found myself)

Bloodywood is a metal band from India known for pioneering a sound that seamlessly fuses Indian folk instruments with metal to devastating effect. Expect to hear the percussive power of the mighty Dhol, the melancholic flute, the single stringed Tumbi and several other uncommon, yet distinctly characteristic sounds from India. A combination of thunderous Hindi/Punjabi choruses and meaningful yet unforgiving rap verses along with the ethnic instrumentation makes Bloodywood a truly unique experience.
