Chamunda Temple Stampede Lyrics - Tourniquet

Darshan goddess, kneel at her throne 

3:45 AM, no way they could have known 

Ancient holy site, we pay our homage here 

And to your honor we will solemnly adhere 

Crushed under the feet, of countless rushing devotees 

Lungs gasping for breath, while standing in the massive queue 

Follow the crowd, the thousands avowed, to the temple gates, single file, to the deity within 

Follow the crowd, the thousands avowed, to the temple gates, single file, 'til the panic soon sets in 

Final body count of 148, hardly a drop of blood was seen on the gate 

No way to escape the crushing human tide 

When the crowd beckons you it's up to you to decide 

Find your own path out - you'll find out what you're all about 

Crushed under the feet, of countless rushing devotees 

Lungs gasping for breath, while standing in the massive queue 

Follow the crowd, the thousands avowed, to the temple gates, single file, to the deity within 

Follow the crowd, your own life avowed, to the bitter fall, single file, 'til the soul inside is sold
